"Bryncrach Caravan site's quiet, peaceful setting and outstanding scenery is
what brings many happy guests back year after year."
Things to Do
Bryncrach Farm Caravan Site is a non-commercial campsite. It is a naturally quiet, tranquil base from which campers and caravanners can explore the Mid Wales countryside.
Fishing
We are nestled amongst the Rivers Edw and Wye and surrounded by unspoilt countryside. We have 3 short exclusive beats on the River Edw which is only a 15 min walk off site. The beats are fly only, catch & release. The campsite is an ideal base for the rivers associated with the Wye & Usk Foundation.
The River Wye (5 miles)
The River Irfon (5 miles)
The Ithon (5 miles)
Walking
The site is ideal for those who enjoy the countryside and outdoor pursuits, as the local area is excellent for walking. We are able to offer advice on scenic and enjoyable walking routes in the area for walkers of all abilities. Aberedw Hill Walk and Giants Grave Hill walk are strenuous hill walks, but shorter signposted walks are also included close to the site. The Offa’s Dyke trail also sees Bryncrach as a good base to travel and explore from.
Valley Dams
The spectacular Elan Valley dams are just 15 miles away with outstanding scenery and walks. www.elanvalley.org.uk.
Bike or Horseback
The countryside can also be explored by bike or on horseback. Horses can be stabled at the farm, so keen riders can bring their equine companions with them to the caravan site. Following local bridal paths that can be viewed at www.free-rein.co.uk. Alternatively, a number of riding stables operate in the local area where lessons can be booked. See www.heartofwales.co.uk or www.underhillridingstables.co.uk.
