  • Peaceful site on a working farm just outside Llanwrtyd Wells
  • Half an hour's drive from Elan Valley and Brecon Beacons
  • Easy access from the A483; pubs and shops half a mile away
Make your way to a peaceful site on a working farm in the Powys countryside… when you roll up to Plas Y Cadno, you’ll be joining a small place just on the edge of lovely little Llanwrtyd Wells (the smallest town in Wales, fact fans) and within easy reach of the Brecon Beacons and Cambrian Mountains. A quick flick through the pics here will give you a glimpse into the fine scenery that awaits for those heading out for a walk, a bike ride, a horseback hack or some other form of outdoor activity; this is a part of the world that’s peppered with old Roman roads, teeny chapels, ancient standing stones and all sorts of other little bits of intrigue (as well as some stunning scenery and abundant wildlife, of course). Middle of nowhere then? Not at all. Play Y Cadno is easily accessed just off the A483, with the town centre’s shops, pubs and other amenities about half a mile away. That’s particularly handy for picking up supplies to light a barbecue or campfire (both of which are permitted here to warm your evenings). Facilities on site are fairly simple, stretching just to unisex showers and toilets. Dogs are allowed to join you on site, but they’ll need to be kept on a lead to avoid scaring the neighbouring sheep.

Liked Hot water in shower.
Campsite is in a beautiful area.

Disliked Had booked but the site was very full. No delineation between pitches. Only one sink in ladies toilet and a single tap outside .. no where else to wash up.

From the manager: Thank you for the review. This booking was over the man vs horse marathon event and is the busiest weekend of the year for us so can only apologise for the site being as busy as it was.
Facilities have been newly built and still waiting on the builder to sort out an area for washing up facilities - thank you for your booking and review.

Unpowered concrete and grass site

Liked Good, level , well kept pitches, some with firepit ( old truck/,tractor wheel). Nice views, very little traffic noise. 10 minutes walk into town. Very nice friendly owner.

Disliked Not really a complaint, it is a working farm so there will be some animal noises! I probably won't take my dogs as they would be barking like mad! Again, doesn't bother me but no electric hookup

Liked A lovely, laid back and friendly site.
Showers were lovely and hot, clean and loos clean.
Lucy, owner, and her partner, were lovely. Added bonus, if you into it, there is a standing stone near the site and ley line.
Great site for access to big snorkeling with transport to big.
Local pub, great atmosphere with blues singing from dangerous Dave. Short drive to beautiful wild swimming sites.
Will definitely use again.

Local attractions

Poke your nose into some history tales… the ruins of Llandovery Castle (20 minutes’ drive) were once a grand 13th-century fortress and the hilltop Carreg Cennen Castle (45 minutes) is another castle that has crumbled since the 13th century. At the Dolaucothi Gold Mines (half an hour), you could learn about Roman mining tricks and get down underground to see them yourselves. Elsewhere, the National Cycle Museum (25 minutes) is about the timeline of the bicycle instead. If you’re looking to get a taste of the local landscapes, you’ll be in for a treat. Elan Valley walks (half an hour) are especially scenic, with six dams around the valley the disused track Elan Valley Railway now used as a track for walkers, and Llyn Brianne (45 minutes) is another hot spot for hikers to take in lake views as they make their way around. The Brecon Beacons National Park (half an hour) has many more spectacular walks, including the climb up Pen y Fan (an hour), or there’s the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhayader (25 minutes) to see red kites being fed. Of course, for hikes coastal-style or watersports, the Pembrokeshire coastline (an hour) is also within driving distance.
