Set in the tranquil Brecon Beacons, Pencelli Castle Caravan and Camping Park has been described by a reviewer as “near to perfect as you can get”. A mere four miles from Brecon, this quiet haven offers an array of outdoor pursuits such as hikes, cycling, off-road biking, pony treks, canoeing, and bird watching, all within an idyllic setting.

The campsite received high praise for its location, within easy reach of numerous attractions. It’s not just the captivating rural charm that entices outdoor enthusiasts, but also the proximity to a welcoming neighbourhood pub and a selection of local landmarks.

Just a ten-minute drive away is Cantref Adventure Farm with plenty to enjoy, including indoor playgrounds, horse activities, farm animal interactions, a cosy cafe, and exclusive VIP creature encounters—a mere hint at the various local escapades awaiting discovery during your time at Pencelli Castle.

Leisurely walks down the campsite’s towpath unravel even more nearby excitement.

Meandering along the way to the historic Brinoer Tramroad towards Talybont Reservoir provides picturesque explorations or delving into the distinctive market town of Brecon with its boutique stores, historical museums, the grand cathedral, and Hills Restaurant, famous for its mouthwatering burgers.

Cycling fans are particularly well catered for, with the convenient Taff Cycle Trail skirting the entrance of the park. And for those wishing to visit local areas, frequent bus services are available to whisk you away to Cardiff or Abergavenny, reports Wales Online. 

After a day of adventuring, you might find yourself in need of a pint. Fortunately, the campsite is conveniently located near the charming village pub, The Royal Oak in Pencelli.

This cosy pub provides a warm haven on chillier nights, while balmy summer evenings are the perfect excuse to enjoy the pub garden, just steps away from the Brecon and Monmouthshire canals.

Relax as you watch narrowboats gently pass by, perhaps treating yourself to some pub grub, before heading back to the campsite for a restful night’s sleep.
