  • Wild camping on a smallholding in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangorse Lake; 20 to Black Mountain Activities
  • Animals on site; walks from the pitches and pubs five minutes’ drive
A spot of wild camping in the Brecon Beacons National Park, anyone? That’s pretty much what you’ll get at The Alltimate View, and very aptly named it is too, being on the side of All Hill with long-reaching views across Powys hills to the River Usk. And despite its peaceful and remote setting, the site is really easy to get to, being only a one-minute drive from the A40.
 The few simple grass pitches are on a smallholding located between pretty riverside Brecon (15 minutes’ drive) and historic Crickhowell (10 minutes), and are something of a haven for hikers and cyclists, as trails and bridle paths lead straight out into Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains.
The site is also in an International Dark Sky Reserve, making it a prime spot for stargazing far away from city lights; guests have spotted meteors on particularly special nights. No-frills amenities cover a shower and loo, charging facilities and a communal fridge and freezer for keeping all your foodie bits and pieces fresh. Pick up barbecue supplies in Brecon or skip the self-catering lark altogether and head straight for the canal-side pubs in Talybont-on-Usk (five minutes).
 Back on site, you may well find yourself sharing space with the owners’ cheeky peacocks, chickens and ducks, as well as cute-as-anything, rare-breed Ryeland sheep.

What customers say

A top small rural spot with amazing views and peace. Friendly hosts, lovely nature, farm animals. Facilities generally clean, a bit basic for some. Easy walks from site. Single toilet/shower can get busy, signal's weak (great for disconnecting!). Steep access road, but okay.

Mike C.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked The view, the facilities and the hosts are everything one could hope for.

The pubs and cafe are about 45 minutes (2 miles) walk, some down the A40 to Talybont-on-Usk with grass verges.

The cafe is deserving of a special mention: not just the cafe but the local shop. It not only does an traditional English menu, but also has good Asian curries that would rival Birmingham with excellent vegetarian options.

Be aware that this a working farm on a hillside and those with accessibility issues might have problems, but those dark skies are well worth it.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked The view is stunning, close to great walks. Its lovely seeing the hens, ducks and peacocks wandering around. The owners super helpful. Our motor home sprung a leak in the roof and they let is park up in the barn to stop the rain coming in, without the barn, our trip would have been ruined.

Local attractions

If it’s time to get active in the bracing Brecon Beacons air, pack yourselves off to Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (10 minutes’ drive) to test your mettle on rope courses and indoor climbing walls (the latter is a useful option if the weather turns on you) or go pony trekking on heather-covered foothills. There are several golf courses within 20 minutes’ drive, while competitive types can race each other around the off-road track at Battle MX (20 minutes) motocross track. Black Mountain Activities (20 minutes) is the place for all things water-related – here you can have a go at canoeing and gorge walking. For gentle family-friendly ambles with scenic views, Llangorse Lake (15 minutes) has waymarked trails around its shoreline, while the track through dramatic Clydach Gorge (25 minutes) leads past an old tramway to the long-abandoned remains of ironworks and quarries. To delve into local history, take a tour of the monumental Norman tower and mellow-stone medieval mansion at Tretower Court and Castle (10 minutes) – once the hangout of Welsh bards – and if you fancy a day rummaging in the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye, the market town is a half-hour’s drive away.
