Tireithin Meadow Camping Retreat

Get out to wild landscapes like Brechfa Forest (20 minutes' drive) or the Brecon Beacons National Park (from 20 minutes) for days full of exercise, spectacular scenery and fresh air. The western part of the park is easily accessible and is home to sights like craggy Carreg Cennen Castle (30 minutes), Llyn y Fan Fach lake (50 minutes) and mighty mountains like Pen y Fan (an hour and 20 minutes). Once you've been out in the wilds, you might like to turn to lower-intensity landscapes like the National Botanic Garden of Wales (20 minutes) – best followed-up with trips out to pretty parks like the National Trust-run Dinefwr Estate (20 minutes) or the restored medieval grounds of Aberglasney Gardens (20 minutes). When it comes to the coast, you could very well stick to Carmarthenshire, exploring Tâf Estuary spots like Laugharne Castle (45 minutes) or settling down on Llansteffan beach (40 minutes). Pembrokeshire seaside resorts like Saundersfoot and Tenby (both roughly an hour) are other tempting possibilities – especially if you've got kids in tow who'd appreciate trips to nearby family-friendly attractions like Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (an hour).
