The distant echo of water on limestone reaches you even at the tent pitches, a reminder that one of Britain's most spectacular cave systems lies just footsteps away beneath the Brecon Beacons foothills.

This is a site for families with curious kids and anyone drawn to underground worlds — the show caves themselves are the main event, but you're also camping in proper Mid Wales walking country, with the Black Mountain ridge visible to the south. Pitches take tents, campervans and caravans, and while the facilities are straightforward rather than luxurious, you're here for the geology and the landscape, not the shower block bells and whistles.

Expect a functional, no-frills setup with toilets and showers onsite. Check the campfire policy when you arrive — it can vary. The vibe is educational family adventure rather than wilderness solitude; you'll likely hear children's excitement drifting across from the cave entrance, and that's part of the charm. A good choice if rainy-day cave exploring appeals as much as the camping itself.

Henrhyd Falls and Nant Llech walk, East Wales

National Trust logoNational Trust

Follows woodland paths and riverside trails to Henrhyd Falls, the tallest waterfall in South Wales at 27 metres, with some steep sections near the falls itself. Suitable for older children and confident walkers but not buggy-friendly due to uneven terrain, steps, and muddy stretches. Dogs welcome on leads. The dramatic cascade plunging into a mossy amphitheatre makes this a rewarding route, especially after rainfall when the falls are at their most impressive.

Beacons Way

Traverses the entire Brecon Beacons National Park west to east over 152km of varied terrain—expect steep climbs, exposed moorland, and gentler valley stretches. Definitely not suitable for young children or buggies; this is a multi-day challenge for experienced walkers with proper navigation skills. Dogs welcome but must be fit and under close control near livestock on open hills. Rewards include stunning panoramic views, waterfalls, and the sense of achievement from crossing Wales' most iconic

St Illtyd's Walk

Follows the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and Vale of Glamorgan for 103km, linking Margam Country Park to Cardiff Bay. Terrain varies from clifftop paths and beaches to farmland and urban sections—expect moderate hills with some steep coastal stretches. Too long for a single outing with buggies or young children, but individual sections work well for families. Dogs welcome throughout. Outstanding coastal scenery, Iron Age forts, medieval churches, and dramatic limestone cliffs make this a rewarding m
