Peaceful rural location with superb views near Llangernyw, North Wales
A 25-minute drive to Conwy Castle; Snowdonia National Park 30 minutes
Animals and free-range hens on site; pub and shop five minutes’ drive

A small and easy-going sort of place with spectacular views over the Snowdonia foothills, pop-up Glan Y Gors campsite near Abergele sits on a peaceful, rural hilltop. It’s on the outskirts of the traditional Welsh village of Llangernyw, and very well placed for masses of things to do and see in North Wales. That is, of course, if you and the kids can ever stop gazing at all the cute animals sharing the five-acre smallholding with you. Pedigree Soay sheep and playful Pygmy goats are bred here, while happy free-range hens get busy laying delicious eggs for your breakfast – buy them from the honesty box. Dogs are welcome too on your Welsh sojourn (just keep them under control around the livestock please) and it’s a doodle to exercise them as footpaths lead directly from the camping field. If you are off out seeing the sights by day, do try to get back to home base on a clear night to see the colourful sunset and later lie back around the barbecues to take in the glittering night skies. With a basics shop and post office, Llangernyw village (five minutes’ drive) also offers up a friendly pub serving home-cooked food and real ales; it also has a takeaway service so you can have cosy suppers around the campfire.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very much privacy,

Disliked: The road to the campsite was terrible and dangerous! this campsite is so remote, probably great for real nature lovers. when we finally found the campsite after sweating and toiling, we saw an empty field. we immediately turned around, despite having paid. I have to admit that we cannot judge the friendliness of the manager, because we did not speak to him

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We were greeted on arrival by the owner who was so friendly and took the time to chat to us. The toilet and shower facilities were adequate for the site and there was plenty of space to pitch. Nice peaceful, relaxed location and we enjoyed looking at the animals on site, we only booked one night as we were travelling different places each day but could have happily stayed longer. Thank you

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Pretty Llangernyw (five minutes’ drive) has an unusual whitewashed church and is well-known for the (circa) 5,000-year-old yew tree in the graveyard. Close by is the Sir Henry Jones Museum, laid out with period rooms and a shoe-maker’s workshop in the white-washed birthplace of the famous Welsh philosopher. Fancy ticking a few major attractions off the bucket list? Conwy Castle (25 minutes) is open for tours of the former royal apartments, while there are bracing walks and Irish Sea panoramas up the Great Orme in Llandudno (half an hour). Glittering sands await on the expansive Colwyn Bay Beach (15 minutes), and there are gorgeous, colourful (especially in spring and autumn) walks to be had at National Trust-owned Bodnant Garden (20 minutes). And of course, the Snowdonia National Park (half an hour) is the scenic backdrop to many, many mountain hiking and biking adventures, and you can explore deep underground at the National Slate Museum (an hour) or try to get your balance on the consistent surfing breaks at Surf Snowdonia (half an hour). Adrenaline-seekers can also zoom down high wires at Zip World Fforest (25 minutes).
