Rural break in Wales on the agenda? Book in at The River’s Edge and you'll have a restaurant on site and easy access to hiking or biking in hilly countryside 10 minutes’ drive from the market town of Abergavenny. This peaceful holiday park is on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (formerly the Brecon Beacons), and 20 minutes’ walk from the scenic long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path as it passes through Pandy. Sitting right by the pitches is the welcoming River’s Edge pub and restaurant, a splendid setting for lunch or dining on burgers and steaks on those days when cooking is off your agenda. Call in for regular evening entertainment over the weekend too. Pet-friendly and family-run, The River’s Edge has spacious fields partially shaded by trees and family-friendly amenities including a shower block and a washing-up area. There’s also a kids’ play area right next to the alfresco seating area behind the pub.

What customers say

Lovely site with level pitches & clean facilities. Staff are friendly, the pub's food is great. Good for walks near Abergavenny. Pitches are a bit close, showers need minor work, but it's a welcoming spot. Most would return.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We were welcomed on arrival and shown to our pitch next to our friends as requested. The site looks to be making improvements and our hard standing pitch as level. We had received an email before arrival stating no awnings/gazebos allowed but as others had, we were pleased to be able to put out our fiama. The site is located at the rear of The Rivers Edge pub/restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our evenings in there that we went every night. The chef is excellent and we tried various dishes during our stay and thoroughly enjoyed all. We also liked the bus stop allowing us to get into Abergavenny without driving.

Disliked My only gripe was the toilet/bathroom facilities. The light fitting in the ladies flashed constantly which was quite off putting. Also the cleanliness wasn't brilliant. The floor was quite dirty and there was no equipment to wash floor before and after using shower which would help especially when the site has camping tents too. I understand that this area is on the plans for refurbishment.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Easy access. Friendly welcome and shown to pitch. Secure site which was well laid out, good size pitches and very clean. Toilet block and showers next to be upgraded at end of season, but still clean and functional. Great location for scenic walks, nearby river great to cool dogs on a hot day, field nearby for well behaved dogs to run (gorgeous cows other side of the wire). As off a main road some traffic noise as you would expect, but also means bus route for short trip to Abergavenny. Local pub in walking distance for a change of scene. On site pub has friendly and welcoming staff, with wonderful food cooked by a chef who clearly takes pride in the meals he serves (booking a table is wise) Site got busier on the Friday but no issue with noise as restrictions were all adhered to. Great location for our stop on route from north to Wales. Would recommend and return.

Disliked Can’t think of anything.

Liked Great Location, quiet and a good sized pitch. The pub sold a good range of beers and very good food.

Disliked The toilets and showers although clean are in need of some tlc, they are a bit tired and small for the size of the site.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We had a fantastic stay at The Rivers Edge! From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and genuine. The campsite itself is beautifully maintained, with everything you could need for a relaxing break. The food was absolutely delicious, and the friendly locals made us feel right at home. Surrounded by stunning scenery, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature. Georgia was a delight! We’ll definitely be back – highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Disliked Nothing at all….

Local attractions

Active types can be on Offa’s Dyke Path in 20 minutes’ stroll, or head off into Bannau Brycheiniog National Park from the pitches for mountain-biking adventures on the trans-park Cycle Across the Beacons route. Families can stretch their legs on the grassy common around the National Park Visitor Centre at Libanus (50 minutes’ drive), where red kites can often be spotted in the skies. Historic Hereford (half an hour) has plenty to keep everyone happy for the day, from the exquisite medieval Mappa Mundi in the Norman-era cathedral to the period oak furniture and wall hangings at the half-timbered Black and White House Museum, which dates from 1621. Learn about the region’s industrial heritage at the Waterworks Museum, and round off the trip at the Cider Museum for a guided tour and tasting session. Kids behaved nicely? Time for trekking adventures at Golden Valley Llamas (15 minutes). If the weather isn’t playing ball, make for the swimming pool and squash courts at Abergavenny Leisure Centre (10 minutes), or take toddlers to have a tootle around at the soft-play centre in Marlow’s Place (15 minutes).
