Tucked away on the south-facing slopes of the Black Mountains in Bannau Brycheiniog, Cwmffrwd Farm is a wonderfully different place to stay, offering land-conscious wild camping, bell tents and the beautifully restored 17th-century Hayloft. Set among 22 acres of wildflower meadows with views across the Rhiangoll Valley towards the hills, Cwmffrwd is much more than somewhere to pitch a tent. It is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and spend time in a landscape that is being carefully managed for nature recovery. There are spacious meadow pitches for tents and small campervans, furnished bell tents, and comfortable accommodation in the Hayloft for those looking for something a little more substantial. The farm is also home to Wild of the Words, founded by Pridie Tiernan, which brings together nature, folklore, storytelling, bushcraft, foraging and traditional skills. Throughout the year there are workshops, walks and seasonal events, providing an opportunity to learn more about the natural world and the stories and traditions connected to it. After a day exploring the Black Mountains, guests can simply relax in the meadows, enjoy the dark skies and wildlife, or book a private session in the wood-fired sauna, tucked away beneath the larch trees. With walking straight from the farm and the mountains, villages and attractions of Bannau Brycheiniog close by, Cwmffrwd makes a wonderful base for an outdoor escape. If you are looking for a Welsh camping experience that feels genuinely connected to the land, rather than another conventional campsite, Cwmffrwd Farm is well worth discovering. Book direct with The Wild of the Words and experience Cwmffrwd Farm for yourself.
