Camping
If you're looking for an opportunity to experience the beauty of Welsh countryside in its raw form, camping in Wales is a great way to do so. Wales has a lot to offer, from stunning coastlines to dramatic mountain scenery and ancient woodlands. There are many campsites in Wales that offer a range of activities and amenities for a unique camping experience. For instance, Willow Springs Campsite is a small, eco-friendly campsite located in the Afan Forest Park in Neath Port Talbot, South Wales. This valley is a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts, mountain bikers, cyclists, and explorers.
Camping on The Farm is another great option for those looking for a relaxing break on the beautiful West Wales coast. It is a small, family-run campsite located next to the sea and coastal path in Aberaeron. It's just a 5-minute, pleasant, level walk away from the Georgian harbor town.
If you're planning to explore the coast path, there are several campsites along the route or close by that offer convenient and affordable places to stay. Alternatively, you can choose a base in a bigger town or city like Tenby or St Davids and select shorter sections for day walks. Glan-Y-Mor Camp Site is a short walk from Britain's smallest city with spectacular views of St Brides Bay. It's also within easy walking distance of the Coastal Path for those who want to continue their journey on foot.
Youth Hostel
Youth hostel accommodations are diverse and cater to various preferences and budgets. From glamping pods to grand castles, there's something for everyone. For those who love the outdoors but don't want to rough it, glamping pods are a great option. These cozy wooden cabins provide protection from the elements while still allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings.
YHA Manobier on the Pembrokeshire Coast, is an ideal place to enjoy a long weekend in a glamping pod. On the other end of the spectrum, there are castle hostels that offer a taste of luxury and history. Guests can stay in a real castle complete with turrets and stone walls, and experience the grandeur of a bygone era. There are also many other types of youth hostels available, including converted stately homes, modern eco-hostels, and more. Whatever your preference, there's a youth hostel out there that's perfect for you.
For those coming from other parts of the UK into Wales, why not book at a stay at a Historic Marcher castle, just 4.5 miles from the border of modern Wales? YHA St Briavels Castle is steeped in the wild adventures of the Marcher Lords and is a wonderful stopping-off point into modern Wales. It also offers the opportunity for larger groups to book in, for those who are planning a larger excursion.
