The Strawmouse Field

Quiet rural wild camping site two miles from the Wye Valley
On Cycle Route 42; 15 minutes to Offa’s Dyke Path
Farm shop and pub nearby; dogs allowed

Whether it’s cycling or walking that takes your fancy or crazy castles and ancient woodlands, The Strawmouse Field will let you in on the Monmouthshire countryside and its attractions. A five-minute drive from the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll also be well-based for canoeing, cycling or walking – and perhaps Offa Dyke’s Path (15 minutes’ drive) or Cycle Route 42 (direct access from site). Here, you’ll be putting down roots with views of the Brecon Beacons and the Severn Estuary. This is a wild camping site on a working cattle farm, so it's a quiet patch with basic facilities so as to encourage wildlife in the grassland meadows. There is a portable toilet on site that's cleaned regularly and stocked with toilet rolls and soap. There’s no rubbish disposal here so you'll need to take away whatever you generate to preserve the natural surroundings for all. Perhaps you might want to weave some tasty local produce into your mealtimes on this break. Handily, there’s a farm shop five minutes’ drive away. The local village has a pub within five minutes’ drive of the site too, while Chepstow (15 minutes’ drive) is packed with more friendly eateries. You'll know you've arrived when you see the Welsh flag at the entrance. Pick whichever pitch is free and start setting up – there's no need to book in with the site team first.
