  • Family-orientated farm site in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons)
  • A 35-minute drive to Pen y Fan; 10 minutes to Pwll y Wrach waterfalls
  • Peaceful atmosphere and basic amenities near the village of Felindre
Newcourt Farm Campsite is a back-to-basics site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. In a designated dark skies area, it's a great base for stargazing and just three miles away from the scenic river Wye, a lovely spot for exploring by canoe or kayak and taking a stroll along the banks. Hike the national park's highest mountain, Pen Y Fan, which is within 35 minutes' drive of the site or head to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (10 minutes' drive away) or Waterfall Country (an hour's drive) for waterfalls. The farm has clean showers, toilets and a washing-up area. Supervised school trips and groups such as Duke of Edinburgh Award seekers are welcome, but no late-night revellers please. The site is dog-friendly.

What customers say

Beautiful views & space, friendly owners. Basic, clean facilities (watch for limited showers, 50p coin needs). Some sloping pitches, portable toilets iffy. Peaceful rural spot, good value for exploring.

Liked Simple and beautiful. Gentleman at reception showed us our pitch and the facilities and left us to enjoy our evening. stunning sunset over the hills. Perfect for my mum and I to have a little camp before a long walk in Bannau Brycheiniog.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great back-to-basics camping with stunning scenery, dark skies, and helpful staff. Great value for an overnight stop.

Disliked Showers & toilets are a bit of a walk from the camping area, only one male shower for the whole site (not sure about female).

Rachel C.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The owner was friendly and welcoming, the scenery was amazing.

Disliked We booked for 2 nights, only stayed for one, a group in the next field decided it was acceptable to play their music very loudly despite the owner asking them to switch it off, the man then decided to start ranting about the sheep being able to make a noise etc. It is a shame as it was a beautiful place and should have been peaceful. The facilities were not really adequate for the site with only 1 shower for all the women and the same for the men. There were not many level areas to pitch on.

Local attractions

Your boots will be made for walking: this corner of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park has footpaths and trails all around to warm you up before tackling the hill walks and mountains, and all in a spectacular part of Wales made up of valleys, waterfalls, caves and open countryside. There are a couple of walks direct from Newcourt and two long-distance trails cross through the farm: the Offa’s Dyke Path on the eastern border of the national park and the Taff Trail running south from Brecon. The Brecon Beacons Park Society has a full programme of guided walks in the park from moderate to strenuous, and there are lots of routes and maps available from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority (or just ask Newcourt Farm owner David to point you in the right direction). The national park’s also where you can get your fill of climbing, birdwatching, caving, canoeing, sailing and other outdoor options; a visitor centre six miles from Brecon has all the info you might need as well as courses and events like pottery workshops and navigation training. Also around are several Sustrans routes for cyclists as well cycle hire and cycle tour guide companies; mountain bikers have five mountain bike centres and 14 trails from yellow (level one) to ‘killer black’ (bring plasters). Wheels on tour can cycle the Lôn Las Cymru, the route from Cardiff to Holyhead via Brecon (use route 42). After all that, you hereby have permission to curl up with a book: buy your tomes at the town of books, Hay-on-Wye, about half an hour from Brecon.
