Glamping with hot tubs in Malvern Hills AONB

·

A mosaic of green hills, woodlands, and lakes sweep the countryside in the Malvern Hills, which spans three counties. Exploring this AONB means getting back to nature. Hike across open hills, through fields of bluebells, or along shaded forest trails. More than 30 miles of bridleways provide options for cyclists and horseback riders, while campers can pitch their tent at quiet rural campsites or have fun glamping in the woods. Each season has a unique charm, so come in spring and summer to admire the wildflowers, or in autumn for colourful forest walks.

A holiday taking in two countries – a tad ambitious? Not in the slightest. Take off to Offa’s Dyke Retreat and such escapades are very easy indeed, as you’re almost on the border of England and Wales, with plenty of gorgeous scenery and outdoorsy antics on both sides of the divide. Site is set in 3 acres with new 2023 communal space, including games room sofa snug, dinning area, new wet rooms and kitchen to be complete December 2023. You can start gazing at that scenery without even leaving this friendly glamping site in the little village of Longtown, for the outlook here is one of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park. Ready for a closer look? Get those boots on and set off for a wander. The Offa’s Dyke path passes nearby on its way from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye, and there are lots of little local paths to explore too. A stroll of a much less strenuous variety (barely a 7 minute, in fact) takes you to the local pub for home-cooked meals, local ales. If you can manage a little further (a 6 minutes walk), you can get to a fab village shop stacked with fresh and frozen food, local tipples and homemade cakes. Stock up there and trot back to the site for a picnic or barbecue (firepit provided, with firewood available to buy on site), or use the well-equipped communal kitchen to prep your eats. 5 ensuite railway carriages with kitchenette, 2 pods and 3 further carriages use shared facilities on site include a toilet block with a couple of showers; no need to bring your own towels, as you’ll be provided with these when you get here, along with bedding for your cosy sleeping quarters.

Brecon, Wales · 6 units
Glangwdi Glamping offers furnished bell tents in sight of Pen y Fan, the Brecon Beacon’s highest peak. For some, that alone will be reason enough to book but for others there are further temptations. The site is 2.5 acres. Take, for example, Glangwdi’s pygmy goats. There’s a daily opportunity to meet these little farmyard friends and there are ducks and chickens too. And, as if that’s not enough, this flat field in the foothills is just five miles from bustling Brecon and a short walk from woods, waterfalls and wild swimming. The bell tents themselves are yet another attraction. There are six; each pitched around the edge of a neat field on a family farm. Woven hazel fencing ensures a little privacy for each camping couple or family – this place is equally suited to both. Children will love the cute pygmy goats and adults… well let’s face it, they will love the pygmy goats too. But they’ll also love the fact that you can hike straight from site to the top of 886-metre Pen y Fan and its twin peak Corn Du. And who wouldn’t enjoy a campfire under the stars, in the shadow of the Beacons? The five and six metre bell tents are each kitted out with beds, bedding and log-burning stoves. Outside, each has the off-ground fire pit and outdoor seating regular glampers will have come to expect but there’s an added extra too: a private camp kitchen, that’s also canvas covered. It provides a sheltered place to cook and dine when the weather’s wet and welcome shade when this open field is bathed in summer sun. On such days, this is just the kind of scenic spot that could tempt you to stay on site all day but if you’re feeling adventurous the mountains will soon lure you away. Hiking, biking and wild swimming (try Llyn Cwm Llwch on way up top) are all on offer here. Closer by, Held Wood is a local favourite for walks with a series of small waterfalls within it. The Taff Trail offers well-signposted routes – towards the peaks in one direction or along country lanes to the market town of Brecon in the other.

Glamping with hot tubs in Malvern Hills AONB guide

Where to go

North Malvern Hills

The northern hills are the place to escape the crowds. Follow the many Discovery Trails through rolling farmlands and orchards, take a walk in the Ravenshill Woodland Reserve, then adjourn to a country pub for a hearty lunch. Further south, the Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve has tree-lined trails and picnic spots along Leigh Brook.

South Malvern Hills

The town of Great Malvern lies at the heart of the hills and leads the way to some of the region’s most popular hikes. Climb Worcestershire Beacon for a view from the hills’ highest point, explore the Iron Age hillfort at British Camp, then admire the mighty Georgian castle at Eastnor.  

Wye Valley

Southwest of the Malvern Hills, the Wye Valley AONB stretches over the border into Wales. Paddle down the Wye River on a canoe, enjoy dramatic hikes through forested gorges, or park your campervan at idyllic riverside camping grounds. There’s plenty for non-hikers to enjoy too, from the evocative ruins of Tintern Abbey to sampling the region’s famous cider. 

Cotswolds

Another AONB within day-trip distance of the Malvern Hills is the Cotswolds, England’s quintessential country getaway. This is the realm of gastropubs, luxury glamping, and artisan shopping, but don’t be put off by its high-flying reputation—there are also endless options for scenic hikes and leisurely bike rides. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy a road trip along the winding country lanes, stopping off in chocolate box villages along the way.
