  • Riverside inn on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • Nine miles from Hay-on-Wye
  • Dozens of walks starting straight from the site
A riverside inn, at the bottom of the Black Mountains, and flanked by the Brecon Beacons National Park: you might reckon there's an excellent amount of hiking and biking around Herefordshire site Bridge Inn Camping Site. You'd be entirely correct – and as it's based at a pub, refreshments after a hearty hike/bike ride will be a fine option too. And if you don't want to hike or bike? First of all, pfffft, as this is a smashing countryside setting for both, but if your tastes do tend towards the more placid while on hol, the book-heavy town of Hay-on-Wye is a mere nine miles away for picking up many (many) volumes; and for sightseeing, cathedral city Hereford is around 15 miles from the pub. The drinks and food at the Bridge Inn have been lauded by many traveller types, so if you're a carnivore, do tuck into their well-regarded juicy steaks… The team's pretty knowledgeable about what's on offer hikewise around the area too: check out the dozens of local walks in the pub folder to plot where you'll be off to next. The pub provides an off-grid experience rather than a fully functioning campsite; there are pub toilets available 24/7 but there are no showers on site.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Lou and H are wonderful hosts, lovely pub, lovely setting

Disliked: Camping toilets/showers
No soap
Both toilets blocked and unusable, pub closed so unable to notify anybody.
Although modern, they were not cleaned at all when we were there.
Such a shame that the camping side has been let go, beautiful site, just needs some tlc and cleaning rota for the toilet block

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: We only stayed 1 night but really enjoyed it. Everyone was so welcoming. The pub is lovely with its roaring fire on a chilly night. There's a well stocked bar and the steak and chips are definitely recommended. Hope to come back again sometime soon. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Liked Everything, great hosts, lovely setting, great pub. You need to ask where to pitch up in the pub, then they take you to the available areas.
Shallow but fast stream passing by camp and pub so little ones should be supervised or possibly encouraged to paddle in when weather is good.

Disliked: Disliked nothing to dislike

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful location. Hosts lovely after initial frostiness as I wasn’t expected.

Disliked: No internet/wifi - only in pub. Overall felt a bit shabby - no loo roll in loos - no where to empty toilet cassette or waste. Just been taken over so hopefully owners will make the most of what that have here. I probably wouldn’t stay again.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Facilities and services were great and well-maintained, and the location was perfect! As for the hosts "H" and Lou, they were brilliant, very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. You have to visit their pub (the Bridge Inn) for beautifully cooked food and fine ale. The locals made the visit extra special! Huge shout out to Billy, who is never short of a tune or two. We'll def be back... Much Love, from General Zog and Emma ;)

Liked: Beautiful location, fabulous pub with great service and food. Very friendly welcome too. Showers were excellent. Good value for money.
We're coming back....

Disliked: Couldn't find an elsan point.
Lack of wifi, but we knew this would be the case, so not a problem! Let's be honest, we all need more time off our phones anyway....

Local attractions

Walks, walks and yet more English and Welsh walks… dozens to pick from start straight from the pub, like the handsome route to Hay-on-Wye nine miles away, to have a wander around the bookshops before tottering back with to base with a rucksack full of reading material. The Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park, both edging the site, also have enough hikes of all lengths to keep you out of mischief for weeks. Abergavenny, the Monmouthshire town promoted as one of the 'gateway to Wales', is 10 miles from Bridge Inn Camping Site and has many more hiking options as the Marches Way, Beacons Way and Usk Valley Walk all pass through it (if these just aren't enough walking for you, the 177-mile Offa's Dyke Path is nearby). Abergavenny dates back to Roman times and has many old buildings and ruins to see; for more ancientness, county capital Hereford is 15 miles from the pub and has a fine 11th-century cathedral, home to the splendidly eccentric medieval depiction of the world in the Mappa Mundi.
