  • Spacious and peaceful site with lovely Brecon Beacons views
  • Within half an hour's drive of hill walks, canoeing and horse riding
  • A 10-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye and the Hay Festival site
Question: what do bookworms, mountain bikers, hikers and heritage railway buffs have in common? Answer: they should all be making a beeline for Borders Hideaway Holiday Home Park in Herefordshire: this small but spacious site is on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, under five minutes’ drive from the village of Clyro and 10 minutes from the antiquarian book browsers’ haven of Hay-on-Wye. If you want to load up with paperbacks and hide away in the hills perusing them, this site’s a suitable venue, with space and solitude, country views and a sensory garden to soothe your other senses. It’s also a comfy base to come back to after days filled with active stuff in the area; there's a splendid combo of hot showers and hairdryers in the bathrooms. With an eye for the small but significant details, the kids’ playground is centrally placed so grownups can keep an eye on younger party members while they continue sizzling sausages (barbecues are permitted on site)… or savouring their stacks of paperbacks.

Powered grass site (family)

Liked Location great for visiting Hay-on-Wye nearby. Also good access to Brecon and beyond.
Spotlessly clean facilities and wonderful environmentally focussed grounds. Loved the wild camping area / meadow and the many insect houses etc.

Disliked They could do with a mirror at the site exit - locals really speed down the hill and can catch you out as you are turning out of the site

Liked The views were spectacular!! Absolutely stunning campsite, so clean and spotless all over, from the toilets and showers to pitches! Lovely and safe for my grandsons to play and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We have already recommended to friends and family and will definitely be returning soon. Thanks so much for a brilliant weekend 😎

Disliked Not a dislike but a café/bar/small shop would be amazing but it certainly didn't spoil anything.

Liked The cleanliness of the washrooms was excellent and in outstanding in comparison with other UK campsites. The staff were really organised on check in and made me feel safe and valued. It was a great pitch too; the grass was well looked after and flat too!

Disliked Although outwith the campsite's control, there were quite a few noisy and speeding vehicles tearing up the road adjelacent to the campsite. Noticeable camping next to the road. However, nothing much the campsite can do so not a gripe against them.

Local attractions

Once you’ve filled your boots in Hay-on-Wye’s numerous bookshops, there’s more to do in town, including exploring the castle, strolls and picnics by the river, and fortifying stops in the many hostelries and eateries. If you fancy further river ventures, make for Glasbury (10 minutes' drive away) to hire canoes and kayaks for trips down the Wye. Should you prefer the ease of an engine-driven craft, the base at Llangattock (40 minutes) has cruisers for daily hire. If it’s walks at height you’re after, Talgarth (15 minutes) is a starting point for paths up the Black Mountains’ highest peak, Waun Fach; for gentle wooded wanders with a waterfall at the end, plus wildlife spotting on the way, head over to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (20 minutes). To see the Beacons on horseback, there are treks of various lengths from Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (25 minutes), as well as indoor climbing and high up zipwires and rope walks both inside and out. If that’s not energetic enough, Oakerwood Leisure (40 minutes) has pastimes like paintballing, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting to get the adrenaline pumping. Historical type? Clamber round ancient sites like Crickhowell Castle and Llanthony Priory (35 and 45 minutes), puff through the hills on the Brecon Mountain Railway from Pant (50 minutes), or descend deep into mining heritage at the Big Pit National Coal Museum, an hour away.
