  • Peaceful pitches mown into a meadow in the Preseli Hills foothills
  • Cardigan, Laugharne and Cenarth Falls within a half-hour drive
  • Eco-friendly off-grid site, part of the Greener Camping Club
Time to slow down a bit? Take yourselves off the grid for a while at Pencwm Escapes, a small and peaceful site in the foothills of the Preseli Hills on the border of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Pitches here are large and well spaced, mown into a car-free meadow for a properly relaxing break in a natural setting. Each one has a firepit for your evenings by the campfire (with wood available from the on-site honesty shop), and there’s plenty of space to relax and play. You’ll also be able to make the most of your space by setting up an awning, gazebo or pup tent if you like. Dogs are welcome, and you should be able to find plenty of places for a good walk in these green surroundings. This site is part of the Greener Camping Club, so it’s committed to creating an eco-friendly setup with things like compost toilets and recycling facilities. There are also hot showers and a communal charging station for guests to use. You’ll automatically be enrolled into the club when you book a stay here (so if you’re already a member, make sure you tick the right box to claim your discount). Although this is a fairly remote rural location (about 20 minutes’ drive north of Whitland) it’s handily placed for all sorts of outings, including trips to the beaches of the south coast, the attractions of Cardigan and walks along the coast path or in the Preseli Hills. Family attractions like the Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary and Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo are within easy reach too.
