  • Well-maintained and scenic setting with spacious pitches
  • On the Offa's Dyke Path on the border of England and Wales
  • A 15-min drive from Monmouth; Wye canoeing within a couple of miles
Wales? England? Mosey along to this Monmouthshire site for both. Hendre Farmhouse Orchard Campsite is on the border of England and Wales, within easy reach of days out of all sorts in both countries. It's no more than half an hour's drive to famed attractions in both lands: the Brecon Beacons, Chepstow, the Wye valley and Raglan Castle on the Welsh side, and the Forest of Dean, Tintern Abbey and Hereford on the English. Even closer to home, the farm is on Offa's Dyke Path for those who fancy part – or all – of its 177-mile route along the Welsh/English border; canoeing on the River Wye is within a couple of miles, and the championship course of the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club borders the site. Hendre Farmhouse Orchard is a peaceful spot overlooking meadows, rivers and hills, and with the River Trothy flowing through the farm meadows. Monmouth is 15 minutes' drive away.

Local attractions

Get your walking boots ready, because Hendre's setting next to the Sugar Loaf and Black Mountain ranges is among the most scenic hiking country in Wales. Recommended walks include the Three Castles, a 19-mile route linking Skenfrith, Grosmont and White castles, following hills and woods and among views of the Black Mountains, the Welsh Marches and the Forest of Dean. Also to be tackled of course is Offa's Dyke Path, on its southern Wales section around the Wye valley and the eastern side of the Brecon Beacons National Park: just follow the acorns… You could also try the Celtic Trail, on a route across Wales rather than up and down it like Offa's Dyke, and running west from Chepstow to the county of Pembrokeshire, or the 100 miles of the Beacons Way for a challenging day or two of hikes. In the Wye valley and the Vale of Usk, take the Wye Valley Walk on part of its 136-mile run from Chepstow to Rhayader via Tintern Abbey and Monmouth. For a shorter local stroll, try the Caerleon Heritage Trail, the Lower Wye Ramble or the Priory Grove Circular Trail.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: It was our first time doing this and had driven from London in our rented campervan with our 2 year old for the weekend. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and the facilities were great - we had everything we needed.

Disliked: We left the site on one day to attend a wedding nearby and were disappointed we couldn't stay later as we had to return to the campsite by 8pm. Unsure if we misunderstood this or if this is the rule for all touring vehicles, despite having already checked in.

From the manager: Thank you so much for a lovely review, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay and with your little one too :) Definitely some misunderstanding/miscommunication there and I feel terrible I'm so sorry! I did say over the phone reception closes at 8pm but I followed with saying that we don't close the gates so you're free to come and go as you please- we just won't be there if you need anything.' I'm so sorry if I didn't make it clear enough and you cut your night short for that reason. I feel awful!

Great find!

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars)

Liked: Overall the site is amazing and would highly recommend it to anyone. It was safe and secure and everyone was friendly from the moment we arrived. Would 100% stay again. Was a nice area with with everything you could possibly needed. Lovely little Pound in the middle. The lady we who greeted us on our stay was very helpful and approachable.

Disliked: Lovely little Pound in the middle which would be nice if some trees were cut back to see the pound and the nature. Parking wasn’t ideal specially in the rain. We had to park on the grass by the gates which was a bit of an issue when it come to leave and it was bit of a pain trying to drive if wet mud/grass

Powered grass and earth tent campsite

Liked: The wash room and toilets are kept very clean. There's a fridge/freezer and microwave there for the campsite to use again very clean. The site has a small park there aswell definitely going back.

Disliked: I think £15 a night electric is abit steep but for what the campsite offers facility wise it kind of makes up for it. There's also no WiFi on site but your camping you don't need your phone.
