Baldwins Brook Glamping

6 units · Glamping, Motorhomes3 acres · England
Small dog-friendly site on the banks of the river Severn Adjacent to the Severn Way and half an hour’s walk from the canal Wildlife haven within walking distance of pubs and Frampton on Severn Craving a peaceful time filled with wildlife watching, long walks and relaxing by the water? On the banks of the River Severn, Baldwin’s Brook Glamping in Gloucestershire fits the bill. This small site is a wildlife haven adjacent to the Severn Way, a long-distance trail which traces the river downstream. Birdwatching prospects are excellent here, and there’s plenty of peace if you’d rather sit and relax by a firepit or check out the stunning views and sunsets. The site is part of a working family farm with lots of livestock. From the farm, it’s a 45-minute walk to Frampton on Severn, which is home to the longest village green in England and the lively Frampton Country Fair (think funfair… and 400 stalls full of good stuff). Baldwin’s Brook Glamping is also half an hour’s walk away from the Cotswold Canal Trust Visitor Centre by The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal if you’d like to grab a spot on a boat trip or sip a coffee by the canal. When you'd rather have a chilled beer, two pubs are within half a mile of the site (only 10 minutes’ walk away). Strike up a conversation with a local about the next Severn Bore, the huge tidal wave which races for 25 miles from Awre to Gloucester down the estuary just a handful of times per year.

Riverside caravan parks in Monmouth guide

Overview

Bounded by the River Wye and with the Wye Valley AONB kicking off on its periphery, handsome market town Monmouth is one of the first spots you hit in Wales travelling west from England, and its proximity to both gentle and dramatically rugged nature makes it a huge hit with outdoors lovers. With well-established grassy caravan and camping parks near the centre, it’s a long-term favourite with the under-canvas crowd. Offering a contrast to the Wye Valley’s benign wooded slopes are the wilder nearby outdoor playgrounds of the Black Mountains and the Eastern Brecon Beacons.

Where to go

Wye Valley AONB

Back in the 18th century, the Wye Valley became the birthplace of modern UK tourism, when people flocked to the picturesque landscapes described in William Gilpin’s influential work Observations on the River Wye. This steep-sided woodsy AONB straddling the Wales-England border remains popular today with a wide mix of full-facility camping complexes and small farm campsites, plus fantastic hiking that includes paths like the long-distance Wye Valley Way.

Black Mountains

The Black Mountains fall within the Brecon Beacons National Park, a dark, brooding wedge of hills running from Abergavenny to Hay-on-Wye, beginning about 15 miles northwest of Monmouth. The long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path trundles across the range, but hiking opportunities are limitless. The main access for campers is the Vale of Ewyas, with its Abergavenny-Hay-on-Wye road bisecting remote countryside below the ridges. Sites are simple and small-scale.

Eastern Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons is a national park of four parts. Its eastern area lies west of the Black Mountains, south of Brecon and north of Merthyr Tydfil. It is the park's most-visited area, with the highest peak (the 2,907-foot Pen y Fan) and easy access from the region’s bigger towns, including Monmouth, about 20 miles southeast. Campsites in this rugged expanse are typically in the verdant valleys around the edge.

When to go

Being close to major population centres means Monmouth and the Wye Valley AONB’s tourist season extends a little beyond the conventional Easter-September window, with March and October also seeing many visitor facilities open, and weather mild enough to camp out. Sites near Monmouth often open year-round. In the Brecon Beacons National Park, though, sites are shut outside Easter-September. April and May are delightful, uncrowded camping months in the Wye Valley.
