Felin Uchaf Meadow Camping

Felin Ufach Meadow Camping is situated in countryside towards the tip of Wales’ Llŷn Peninsula. The former farm site is now a eco-friendly community centre run as a green social enterprise with lovely gardens, a craft shop and a cafe on site. You are welcome to explore all of it. There are summer workshops and occasional events including storytelling on site. Ask your hosts for information on any events that might be taking place during your stay. There’s lovely coastal walking all the way around the peninsula on the Wales Coast Path and plenty of beaches to visit. The closest is the sandy mile stretch at Aberdaron (just over three miles away). A National Trust visitor centre on the outskirts has local information and runs kayaking sessions twice a week in the summer (on Tuesdays and Saturdays). The area is also known for sailing and kitesurfing as well as for being the launching point for Bardsey Island. The island, two miles off the tip of the peninsula, is a good place to see seabirds and seals and has been a place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages. Porth Neigwl is another beach near the campsite (though the car park is nine miles away at its furthest end). It is a long sandy stretch that’s known for good surf as it faces the Atlantic. On days when the wind comes from the other direction, it’s perfect for paddleboards. Plas Yn Rhiw is a 17th century manor house with gardens that are open to the public (and a tearoom) three miles down the road. Abersoch, the best-known and busiest seaside resort on Llŷn is 10 miles away. Anywhere within the peninsula can be reached within 40 minutes and the edge of Snowdonia National Park is only about 45 minutes away.

There’s a lovely cafe on site that’s part of the social enterprise – check in advance if it’s open during your stay. There’s also a shop selling wholefoods and veg from the garden on the weekends. For more than that, head into Aberdaron (four miles) where there’s a well-stocked Spar and the Becws Islyn Bakery, among the shops. It’s also the closest place for fish and chips by the beach. If you fancy more of a sit-down meal choose from Ty Newydd or The Ship. There are lots more eateries in Abersoch.
