  • Peaceful site on a working farm just outside Llanwrtyd Wells
  • Half an hour's drive from Elan Valley and Brecon Beacons
  • Easy access from the A483; pubs and shops half a mile away
Make your way to a peaceful site on a working farm in the Powys countryside… when you roll up to Plas Y Cadno, you’ll be joining a small place just on the edge of lovely little Llanwrtyd Wells (the smallest town in Wales, fact fans) and within easy reach of the Brecon Beacons and Cambrian Mountains. A quick flick through the pics here will give you a glimpse into the fine scenery that awaits for those heading out for a walk, a bike ride, a horseback hack or some other form of outdoor activity; this is a part of the world that’s peppered with old Roman roads, teeny chapels, ancient standing stones and all sorts of other little bits of intrigue (as well as some stunning scenery and abundant wildlife, of course). Middle of nowhere then? Not at all. Play Y Cadno is easily accessed just off the A483, with the town centre’s shops, pubs and other amenities about half a mile away. That’s particularly handy for picking up supplies to light a barbecue or campfire (both of which are permitted here to warm your evenings). Facilities on site are fairly simple, stretching just to unisex showers and toilets. Dogs are allowed to join you on site, but they’ll need to be kept on a lead to avoid scaring the neighbouring sheep.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked The campsite is conveniently located near the pretty town of Llanwrtyd Wells. We liked that you can walk into the town and go to the pub. There's lots of beautiful scenery in the area and the campsite looks out onto pretty hills. It is great for dog owners as it is close to lots of lovely places to walk - hills, rivers and woodland. The site is clean with lots of space for your pitch. Facilities are limited but the toilets and showers are clean.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Loved the feeling of freedom and quiet at this site. A working farm that gave us a warm welcome. Basic, clean and well kept toilet and shower block, and the rest is up to you to enjoy the views, open space and only a short walk to the town with shops, riverside and pubs. Exactly what we needed as part of our tour of Wales in a campervan.

Disliked We didn’t dislike anything, we love sites like this.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Stayed one night on route south and it was quiet BUT fabulous location,Lucy was lovely, her husband (I presume) stopped his tractor to say hello as I was just pulling in and then tooted a good morning/ farewell as I was packing up. Felt very welcomed. Showers and toilets ultra clean and showers hot. Even handwash liquid and paper towels provided which I didn’t expect for such reasonable pitch rate. Cambrian Mountains and associated hikes are very close by and I wished I’d walked into the village as it looked beautiful as I was driving through the morning I was leaving ☺️Lucy was telling me about the Man versus Horse event locally in June and bog snorkling in August so I’m tentatively looking at a return trip next June x

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Great farn site on the edge of Llanwyrtd - walking distance to great pubs, restaurants and shop. Good price

Disliked - fires allowed which is great until the smoke blows into your downwind tent. Suggest a 12pm fires out rule

Liked Visit here at least once a year, Plas Y Cadno never fails to provide a great experience.
Friendly, efficient welcome in a beautiful venue. Yes, it is rustic and yes it is basic, but it lacks for nothing.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

Poke your nose into some history tales… the ruins of Llandovery Castle (20 minutes’ drive) were once a grand 13th-century fortress and the hilltop Carreg Cennen Castle (45 minutes) is another castle that has crumbled since the 13th century. At the Dolaucothi Gold Mines (half an hour), you could learn about Roman mining tricks and get down underground to see them yourselves. Elsewhere, the National Cycle Museum (25 minutes) is about the timeline of the bicycle instead. If you’re looking to get a taste of the local landscapes, you’ll be in for a treat. Elan Valley walks (half an hour) are especially scenic, with six dams around the valley the disused track Elan Valley Railway now used as a track for walkers, and Llyn Brianne (45 minutes) is another hot spot for hikers to take in lake views as they make their way around. The Brecon Beacons National Park (half an hour) has many more spectacular walks, including the climb up Pen y Fan (an hour), or there’s the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhayader (25 minutes) to see red kites being fed. Of course, for hikes coastal-style or watersports, the Pembrokeshire coastline (an hour) is also within driving distance.
