Weekend Trip to Cae Ddel Country Camping

We really enjoyed staying at the cabin, it's in a very private woodland with a fire pit and bbq. Cabin is very comfortable but you still get a camping like "back to nature" experience.

It was exactly as advertised, which is what I wanted. There is a great little bar/cafe less than 2 km up the road as well.

5 nights at Preseli Glamping woodland camping

Spacious individual pitches, wooden picnic bench in each one plus a fire pit (though we didn’t use this). A friendly campsite where you can have as much privacy as you choose!

1 night at Cae Ddel Country Camping

We had a lovely and peaceful time at the bell tent on Frances's land. The BBQ and kitchen area were very well equipped so it was easy to drop our things in the tent and get cooking as soon as we arrived. The washing facilities were excellent too which made for a very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Coed Obry

What a wonderful little parcel of solitude hidden away in the Welsh hills. Surrounded by bird song and wildlife as you wake up. As close to wild camping as you'll get, without justing packing your bag and heading into the Peaks. Tim was lovely, full of suggestions, and the site has information all around with recommendations for walks. Looking forward the heading back when summer is in full force!
