Yurts in Gower AONB

·

Home to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the South Wales Coast, the Gower Peninsula is a small but mighty region where visitors can partake in a range of adventure activities—including watersports, paragliding, and hiking—all within easy driving distance of both Swansea city centre and Cardiff. While Gower is well-known for its coastline, caves, and beaches (especially Rhossili), the region extends inland where keen hikers will find many public rights of way and castles to explore. Campers aren’t short on options either, as the Gower Peninsula has plenty of full-service touring parks, caravanning options, and campsites with sea views.

Ffynnonwen is the perfect spot to reconnect with nature and nourish your soul. We're a quiet site with dark skies and campfires, so you can relax in peace and tranquillity whilst watching the butterflies or stargazing at night. We're a tiny camping and glamping site with just 5 camping pitches, a traditional Mongolian Yurt and 2 bell tents. Our pitches are all surrounded by flowering grasses and wild flowers and each have their own sunken fire pit. You can explore the winding paths where you might happen upon a hammock for an afternoon snooze or even some fairies (if you tiptoe!)... We have compost toilets, a shower with unlimited hot water and a shared fridge and freezer. The camping area is car free after set up. We're just 3 miles from the beautiful Ceredigion beaches and some great walks along the Wales Coastal path. We can't wait to share our little corner of Wales with you!

The Yurt has a beautiful glow of an evening when the log burner is roaring, candles lit and a bottle of wine opened. You can enjoy a spot of stargazing through the starlight panel, really making for that romantic getaway. Your private outdoor kitchen is located perfectly next to the yurt making it just a few paces from the bed to put the kettle on. The kitchen is fully equipped for what ever meals you might end up cooking, along with a small supply of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, salt, pepper and oil. A small cool box is supplied with ice packs, there's also a two ring gas hob and washing up sink. Drinking water will be supplied separately in bottles. The Yurt and kitchen area have a fence surrounding them, giving you that piece of mind if you have your furry friend with you. You also have access to the surrounding field so your pooch can really stretch their legs. The outdoor (flushing) toilet and shower shack will be used by you only. We only have one yurt onsite meaning that you have the whole glamping field and amenities to yourself. There are no mains electricity in the glamping field but there are plenty of solar and battery powered lights at hand to help you navigate in the dark and to set the mood of an evening. There will also be a power bank available in the yurt which has enough power to charge phones or tablets 5 times. There isn't wifi available in the glamping area but phone signal is great including access to 4G. So get those programmes and films pre downloaded. You will be supplied with your first basket of logs free of charge, further baskets can be purchased onsite at a small additional cost. These logs can be used for both the log burner and firepit. We have free range poultry on the farm so don't be surprised if they give you a visit in the glamping field. There is always an abundance of fresh chicken and duck eggs along with other farm delights, available from the corner unit shop.

Gower AONB camping guide

Where to go

Rhossili Bay

Rated one of the best beaches in the UK, Rhossili Beach is a 3-mile expanse of sand ideal for sunbathing, strolling, or avoiding altogether in favour of sea-based watersports. You can also reach Worm’s Head from Rhossili Beach, a promontory that becomes an inaccessible island during high tide, as well as paraglide from Rhossili Downs. When it comes to camping, you’ll find plenty of places to pitch your tent along the coast.

Swansea

Though the Gower Peninsula is technically situated within Swansea, Wales’ second city is also an excellent base within the region which offers proximity to wider South Wales, including the Valleys, Brecon Beacons, and Wye Valley, as well as access to several camping stores. However, given Swansea’s urban sprawl, campsites and motorhome parks with wifi access are situated on the outskirts of the city.

Mumbles

Mumbles, an unusually named seaside town known for the “Mumbles Mile” of pubs and its 19th-century pier, is situated on the eastern edge of the Gower Peninsula. A great place to set up camp if you love beaches, Mumbles is also a convenient spot to start the Gower Coastal Path and is situated close to a couple of family-run caravan parks and campsites, including Nicholaston.

Gower Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Rhossili Beach, Oxwich Bay, and Three Cliffs Bay are all part of the Gower Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a protected area crisscrossed by footpaths, dotted with wildlife trust reserves, and dense with protected woodland which is a haven for walking and birdwatching. The Gower Coast Path also runs the length of the AONB coastline, while caravan parks and campsites typically offer sea views, electric hook-ups, and other amenities.
