  • Pop-up site at a remote Carmarthenshire 35-acre smallholding
  • A 35-minute drive to Brechfa Forest; National Botanic Garden 45 mins
  • Nature trail, bird-feeding areas and mini observatory on site
Carmarthenshire countryside calling? You’ll be right in the midst of it all at Glanrhyd Farm Camping, part of a 35-acre smallholding with sheep and hens plus all manner of fruit and veg growing around the place. This is a proper rural experience, tucked away in a quiet location 275 metres above sea level and 25 minutes’ drive from Carmarthen. It's the kind of place where kids can amuse themselves building dens, playing games on the field or messing about in the sandpit. Follow the kilometre-long nature trail to follow for sightings of rabbits, butterflies and other critters along the stream, or settle at the bird-feeding area where regular visitors include sparrows, woodpeckers and chaffinches. Keep your eyes and ears peeled also for owls, buzzards and red kites. Much of the joy of this location is to be found in just doing things at your own (nicely slow) pace, but there are also activities to join in with from time to time – ask your hosts if they're running any nature hunts or treasure hunts for the kids, or if you’d like to try a willow weaving taster session. They’ll also be able to arrange for you to take a look through the telescope in their mini observatory. As a pop-up site the facilities here are on the simple side, but you'll have access to compost toilets, a shower and a washing-up area and you'll be able to light a campfire for toasty warm evenings (and maybe a bit of cooking).

Local attractions

There are plenty of outdoor activities nearby, including mountain bike trails in Brechfa Forest (10 minutes' drive) and walks in the surrounding area or the west of the Brecon Beacons National Park (40 minutes). You may also fancy trying archery, assault courses and even sumo wrestling at Aspirations Outdoor Activities (35 minutes) – or perhaps taking it a little easier with a ride on the Gwili Steam Railway (20 minutes). The National Wool Museum (40 minutes) will give you an insight into one of the area’s key products; those who like to get crafty for themselves can do so at FibreFrenzy (45 minutes) or Phoenix Forge blacksmiths (25 minutes). For other days out, dip into local history at places like Carreg Cennen Castle (40 minutes) and Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (an hour), visit the National Botanic Garden of Wales (20 minutes) or take the kids to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (45 minutes). The coast isn't far off, either – head south to Laugharne (40 minutes) and Pembrey Country Park (45 minutes) or west to Cardigan and Mwnt (an hour).
