The Trothy valley runs quiet and green here, folded into the hills south of Monmouth where Monmouthshire softens into wooded ridges and sheep-grazed pasture.
Glen Trothy takes tents, campervans and caravans year-round, making it a solid choice for couples touring the Wye Valley, families after a rural base between the Forest of Dean and the Brecon Beacons, or anglers heading to Redhill Fishery just down the lane. The site sits in proper countryside — this is Wales at its gentle, rolling best, with stone farmsteads and narrow lanes threading through oak and beech.
Facilities aren't detailed, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's onsite and whether you'll need to be self-sufficient. Campfires are allowed but confirm the setup when you arrive — policies can shift with the season and the weather. The feel here is unpretentious and tucked-away, the kind of spot where you pitch up, breathe out, and let the valley do the rest.
