Nant Y Big

The Brecon Beacons rise beyond the hedgerows here, their slopes shifting from green to purple depending on the light and the season.

Nant Y Big takes tents, campervans and caravans, making it a flexible base for families exploring the national park, couples after walking routes along the ridges, or anyone wanting year-round access to the Welsh uplands. The site sits in proper hill-farming country — expect sheep, big skies, and that particular stillness you only get in mid-Wales when the weather pauses between fronts.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth checking what's available when you book. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions — ask on arrival rather than assuming. The year-round opening means you can pitch in January mist or July sun, though winter in the Beacons demands decent kit and a respect for how quickly the weather turns. This is a working rural site, honest and unpretentious, suited to campers who value landscape over luxury.

Llanbedrog Walking Trail, Llyn

Loops through National Trust woodland and coastal paths with moderate inclines, offering stunning views across Cardigan Bay and the colourful beach huts below. Mostly manageable for older children (8+) but uneven terrain and some steep sections make it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for very young walkers. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for the dramatic clifftop scenery, secluded coves, and the charming hilltop Iron Age fort viewpoint overlooking the Llŷn Peninsula.
