Finnant Wood Wild Camping

4 units · Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Carmarthen, Wales

Near Carmarthen, South Wales. A compact and accessible wood with a balance of commercial crops, mature broadleaves, and recent planting, it is set in a sheltered location overlooking the Towy Valley with stunning views. Ffinnant Wood is a mixed woodland, partly commercial and partly broadleaf, with a steep-sided broadleaved valley, Cym yr Abbey, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The wood designations include restored ancient woodland and plantations on ancient woodlands. The SSSI designation arises as this is one of few localities in South Wales that has yielded well-preserved trilobite fossil specimens. The wood comprises a stand of mature mixed Sitka spruce and Douglas fir. These trees have been managed to put on height and volume. The area of recent (2021) coniferous clear felling and some nearby thinning yielded approximately 1,800m3, approximately 635 tonnes/ hectare, showing that this is a productive site. Following harvesting, these areas were replanted with 50/50 Sitka spruce/Douglas fir and a Sm edge of broadleaves adjacent to the B4300. It has been weeded and is growing well. A small area (c. 0.4 hectares, see map) remains to be replanted with 960 trees (Sitka spruce, 90%, oak, 5%, mixed broadleaves, 5%). RIGHTS OF WAY There are no footpaths on the property. This gives the wood an extra element of privacy. DIRECTIONS Drive east on the B4300 from Carmarthen. After 4 miles, you will pass the turn-off for the B4310. Keep on the B4300; after 800m, Ffinnant Wood is on your right-hand side, rising up the slope. There are two points of vehicular access to the wood from the B4300. For viewing, as the B4300 straightens, pull over to the right and park adjacent to the metal double gates, from there you can enter the woodland on foot.

Campsites near waterfalls in Malvern Hills AONB guide

Overview

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.

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.
