The buzzards really do circle overhead here — you'll hear their mewing call drifting down from the thermals above this tucked-away CL in the Welsh hills.

This is a proper old-fashioned Caravan and Motorhome Club certified location, taking tents, campervans and caravans in that classic five-pitch setup. It's quiet Wales, the kind of place that suits couples after proper peace, anyone walking with dogs through the valleys, or campers who just want to unhitch and breathe out for a few days. The facilities aren't listed in detail — it's a CL, so expect the basics rather than bells and whistles — but that's rather the point.

Worth checking about campfires when you arrive, as they're sometimes permitted depending on conditions. The vibe is low-key and unhurried, the sort of site where you measure the day by bird calls rather than Wi-Fi bars. If you're after stripped-back Welsh countryside camping without the crowds, this fits the bill nicely.

Rhosili Headland Walk, Gower

National Trust logoNational Trust

Loops around one of Wales' most dramatic coastal headlands with steep climbs and breathtaking clifftop views over Worms Head and Rhossili Bay. The terrain includes uneven clifftop paths, steps, and grassy slopes – not suitable for buggies and challenging for young children due to exposed drops and elevation changes. Dogs welcome but must be kept under close control near livestock and cliff edges. Worth it for stunning Atlantic panoramas, Iron Age fort remains, and some of Britain's best coastal

Rhosili Down, Hillend and beach walk, Gower

National Trust logoNational Trust

Climbs steeply from the beach car park onto Rhosili Down's dramatic ridge (200m ascent), then descends to the vast sandy sweep at Llangennith. Mostly grassy paths with some rocky sections—unsuitable for buggies and challenging for small children, though older kids who can handle hills will love the views. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The Worm's Head causeway views and endless Atlantic beaches make this one of Gower's finest coastal circuits.
