England · 15 units · Tents, MotorhomesThe Bryn is a pop-up site in the Mid Wales countryside, near the village of Howey, and about a 5 minute drive south of Llandrindod Wells. This is a no-frills site but one that's got the essentials in the form of portable toilets and clean drinking water (although please note there are no showers on site). Kids and dogs are welcome, as well as Duke of Edinburgh groups, and motorcyclists. Barbecues are allowed, with supplies for the grill or picnics easily found in the nearby town of Llandrindod Wells. The surrounding villages and towns also have plenty of places to eat out or go for a drink.
The site is set within a 7-acre field on a working farm, but provides a quiet and peaceful location with plenty of space to pitch your tent. There are views across the Ithon Valley, with the Cambrian Mountains in the distance. There is plenty of wildlife to be spotted in the countryside and on the nearby pond, as well as being a perfect location for some stargazing away from any light pollution.
There are a range of short, long, and circular walks in the local area, with trails like Glyndwr's Way, the Heart of Wales Line, and Offa's Dyke Path not too far away. The site is also in a perfect central location to the Elan Valley, Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), the Cambrian Mountains, and Hafren Forest.
And it's not all about walking, with plenty of other attractions and places to visit nearby. From watersports to cycling, horse-riding to alpaca walking, there is an abundance of things to do and see in the surrounding area. Examples of these include Lakeside Boathouse (Llandrindod Wells), National Cycle Museum (Llandrindod Wells), the Red Kite Feeding Station (Rhayader - 15 mins away), the Elan Valley Visitor Centre (25 mins away), Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (40 mins away), Bwlch Nant yr Arian (50 mins), plus many others.
