The Secret Glen

The valley folds around you here, steep-sided and pine-quiet, the sort of glen that feels like it belongs to another century.

The Secret Glen is set up for campervans and caravans — though with a name like that and facilities unspecified, this is clearly one for self-sufficient tourers who prefer a bit of mystery over a guaranteed hook-up list. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're travelling with a four-legged friend. The location data's light on detail, which suggests this might be a small, low-key spot that's stayed deliberately under the radar.

Campfires are a maybe — you'll need to ask when you arrive. Expect something simple, possibly off-grid or nearly so, the kind of place where the main attraction is the landscape itself rather than an amenities block. If you like your pitches properly wild and your fellow campers few, this could be exactly what you're after.
