  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the main A470 road, a five-minute drive from Brecon town
  • Views out across the mountains; pygmy goats to meet at the park
Get to Glangwdi Glamping for bell tent breaks at a fantastic family-run site in a first-rate spot for bumbling around the Brecon Beacons National Park. Days of hiking, alpaca walking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking – and pretty much any other activity you're up for in this part of Powys – are a doddle to organise while on a hol here. Taking on pursuits of a more leisurely sort is also an option at this scenic site, either by simply sitting down and admiring the views out across south Wales’ most sizeable mountain range or by wandering over to meet the pygmy goats, chickens and ducks at the farm. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a brilliant way to arrange dins on site (firepits are available and there’s wood to buy). But if you're not in the mood to cook, let someone else do the work by ordering meals at one of the pubs, coffee shops or restaurants up the road in Brecon (five minutes’ drive). You could also wangle a takeaway delivered straight to your pitch... Work up an appetite for eats with a walk around the Brecon Beacons, whether a gentle hike in the woods or while getting stuck into scaling Pen-y-Fan (20 minutes), the area’s highest peak.

Bluebell bell tent

Liked: We loved the toilet & shower facilities. They were very modern & clean. We also loved how calm and inviting the stay was. We had pizza made by the owner of the site & it was fabulous. The tent was amazing & the bed was super comfy. It was really close to Brecon which was great and only 30 minutes from the four falls walk that we did too! Had such a lovely stay and would highly recommend/ will be returning!

Bluebell bell tent

Liked: This place was so charming. It had the perfect mixture of wilderness and luxury. The decor was absolutely beautiful, every detail was lovely. The washrooms and toilets are very clean and well presented. The owners were so friendly and chatty. I was even able to feed some of the animals who roam to their hearts contents. I must say the real stars of the show are the goats. Particularly Mike who loved the attention! Lovely place to stay would highly recommend. I only wish I had stayed longer than 1 night!

Local attractions

Horse-riding sorts might like to saddle up at the nearby stables (10 minutes' drive), while mountain bikers can satiate their need for speed on the top trails at BikePark Wales (half an hour). And the outdoorsy antics don't end there… Brecon is something of a hub for such things with activity centres around town for rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling adventures. All sound too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (half an hour) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (30 minutes) and sampling some locally made tipples. Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area's other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the literary town of Hay-on-Wye, a settlement lined with bookshops. A little further north, but well worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan Valley and the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhayader; both are around 50 minutes drive.
