Calon Y Goedwig Glamping

On the way to Calon Y Goedwig Glamping, you get a taste for the rural scenery that will surround you during your stay. It’s all rolling hills and fields of sheep. But nothing quite prepares you for the peace and quiet you’ll find. The site consists of just two spacious glamping tents pitched on a hillside sheep farm in Carmarthenshire. It’s secluded and surrounded only by the sounds of nature and countryside life. Red kites might fly overhead, tractors might trundle by but, generally, you can forget the world outside and simply enjoy life off grid and under canvas.

Choose from a classic bell tent and a Touareg tent. Both are set up to provide a base for up to six people and are perfect for families. They each have their own composting loo and hot water shower as well as their own worktop and camping stove in the shared kitchen shed. It’s a great set-up for easy under-canvas stays. Everything is provided so you don’t have to bring a lot: bedding, towels, cooking kit—just about everything is here. But remember: it’s all off grid. Comfortable as this place is, it’s still about getting back to basics.

To that end you’ll enjoy the simple things in life during a stay here: having a campfire and toasting marshmallows under starry skies, going for a walk in the countryside and using the provided binoculars to watch red kites flying by. But, more than likely, you’ll want to explore what surrounds you further. This site is three miles from Llandovery, just outside Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (formerly the Brecon Beacons) so there’s plenty to see and do—and most of it is in the great outdoors.
