From Abereiddy in Pembrokeshire, enjoy stunning views across the Irish Sea, especially as the sun sets towards Pen Berry mountain or as the moon lingers over the sea. With direct access onto the Wales Coast Path, you’ll be able to take in Pembrokeshire’s rugged cliff tops, sheltered coves, beaches and winding estuaries. Local highlights are Blue Lagoon and award-winning fish and chips at The Shed in historic Porthgain harbour.

TAN AELDROCH FARM – Sat nav LL25 0LZ

A few miles along the River Lledr from Betws-y-Coed in Snowdonia
sits Tan Aeldroch Farm. Of our three picks, this is that site that takes you closest to nature, but given that you’re in the heart of Snowdonia National Park there’s no point lounging around with the sheep. Dolwyddelan Castle, Hafan Eryri at Snowdon’s peak and Zip World are nearby attractions.

CASTLE KNIGHTS – sat nav NP15 1SD

Campers have full run of the fantastically well-preserved Usk Castle, in the grounds of which this campsite sits. The site overlooks the mid-Wales market town, with its charming independent shops, tearooms and pubs, and beyond to Crickhowell and the Black Mountains. Though you’d only be 10 minutes from the M4, you could be anywhere in the world.
