  • Wild-style camping on a working Welsh borders hill farm
  • Knighton and the Shropshire Hills 10 minutes' drive away
  • Close to Glyndŵr’s Way route; bike storage available on site
There are some pretty impressive views to be had from up at 1400 feet, you know – and that’s something you’ll find out for sure when you stay at Buckhall Farm. This Powys site near Llangunllo has stunning views stretching out for miles and miles on either side of the Wales/England border. You’ll be able to look out at whichever corner of the scenery appeals to you most here, as it’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup. And it’s a wild-style camping setup too, in keeping with the peaceful rural atmosphere of this working Welsh borders hill farm. That means you’ll have access to a toilet, a washing-up area and a tap for handwashing, but otherwise left to your own devices. With the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in one direction and the Elan Valley in the other (and a whole swathe of lovely scenery in between as well), it’s no surprise to hear that this makes a fine base for a break filled with rural walks and bike rides. Glyndŵr’s Way passes close by, and there’s storage available on site for bikes so you can be sure they’ll be dry come morning. For longer journeys it may be handy to note that there’s a train station about half an hour’s walk away. To fuel up for such adventures you’re welcome to bring along a barbecue to cook alfresco meals; the town of Knighton (10 minutes’ drive) is a handy source of shops for supplies, and also has several places to eat out if you’d rather do that.

Local attractions

Walks and bike rides are perhaps the most obvious ways to fill your days around here, but you may also like to try out different rural activities, including rally driving or clay pigeon shooting (both five minutes’ drive away). There’s also the chance to look up into the skies and learn about asteroids and comets at the The Spaceguard Centre (15 minutes). As well as local walks, there’s plenty more scenery to explore around the nearby Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, home to sights including Clun Castle (20 minutes) and Stokesay Castle (35 minutes). The dams of the Elan Valley (40 minutes) also make for some very pretty walking territory. For a gentler day out, you may like to head to Llandrindod Wells Lake for a stroll followed by cake in the lakeside café, or meet cute animals at the Small Breeds Farm Park (both half an hour). A wander through Westonbury Mill Water Gardens (35 minutes) or some time exploring the shops of Ludlow (40 minutes) could also be on the cards.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Stunningly peaceful. So quiet and gorgeous location. We were the only ones there and loved it. Well worth the visit. Area is amazing. The B roads leading to it are easy for a 6m motorhome, the last 2 miles are a little narrower but easily managed. The hosts are very helpful. You cannot underestimate the peacefulness. The camping site is as you turn up to Buckhall farm. Towards the house turn right over the cattle grid, its between the fiest cattle grid and the 2nd before the house. The campsite is the field to the left through the gateway. Kids loved it and such a good nights sleep. If you're after a peaceful quiet night them thisbis amazing. If you're tent camping or van camping there is a portable toilet and water. Nothing fancy but not needed. Definitely visit again.

Disliked: Don't take the farm track to the left of the driveway. No turning places.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: What a lovely farm site, so friendly. Just a tap and a portaloo in fields with a great view. Ideally situated for walkers with two places to join Glyndwr's Way nearby. One day I followed it to Knighton, the second day I did a big loop joining up with a beautiful stretch of the Heart of Wales Line Trail and the third day I did the smaller loop joining the two closest parts of Glyndwr's Way. So great to have an anytime check-out so I could fit in that third walk. A very enjoyable weekend.
