95km from Bridgnorth · 6 units · Glamping · Brecon, Powys, Mid Wales
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.

Where to go

Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Walk, cycle, and ride through extensive public rights of way in Shropshire Hills AONB, where campers can summit over 50 hilltops to admire the landscape. See the park by waterway with a canoe float down River Severn. Then, enjoy easy access to trailheads from tent pitches and caravan sites with shuttle buses running from May to October.

Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Explore the hiking and cycling trails of Malvern Hills AONB amidst shady woodlands and unique history. Known for its fresh spring water, Malvern Hills is the site of the Holy Well, one of the oldest water-bottling plants in the world. Campers can also admire ancient boundaries from the time of King Charles I, especially when camping on-site at caravan sites, tent grass pitches, and glamping pods.

Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Wander along peaceful bridle paths or hop along the Stepping Stones to admire the varied landscapes of Cannock Chase AONB. Rare birds like woodlarks call this forest home, and a herd of fallow deer also grazes in the fields. Sleep beside the canal at rustic caravan and tent pitches, or glamp in the meadow for a more peaceful stay in this AONB.

When to go

Summers near Bridgnorth boast warm weather with temperature around 22°C and long hours of sun, making June through August the busiest time of year. Brace for some humidity in hotter months, and book ahead to score camping pitches in peak tourist season. Those seeking a quieter visit may enjoy the shoulder seasons, when spring wildflowers and autumnal changing leaves display nature’s vibrant hues. Though winters are often chilly and rather wet, clear days can make for beautiful hiking conditions to see views over the West Midlands.
