Wild Penllŷn Camping Field

100%

· Llanbedrog, Wales · 1 acre

Hosted by Rachel R.

5 tent pitches

Our site is in the far northwest corner of Wales UK, on the wild coastal edge of the Llŷn Peninsula, or Penllŷn in Welsh. We are surrounded by sea and look across to the mountains of Eryri / Snowdonia. The camping area is part of our private property where we live and work, along with our dog. We are restoring our land to a wildflower meadow and other nature friendly habitat, but allowing use of one field for seasonal camping and occasionally larger gatherings. We will be nearby to offer assistance and suggestions on your stay in the area, however we also ask that you are considerate and also respect our privacy, minimising noise, time spent near the house or in the garden, especially late at night. It is also essential that the gates are kept closed and access clear. We are in an ideal spot for cyclists and walkers exploring the coast of Wales (we are a short diversion from the national coast path). Low carbon travellers are welcome, with Pwllheli train station about 5 miles away and we are also on the main Pwllheli to Aberdaron bus route. We can accommodate a limited number of vehicles including camper vans and smaller motor homes (please check size with us first to ensure your motorhome is not too wide for our track). The field is accessed by a good quality track which bypasses the house and garden and goes direct into the field. So we can accommodate cars, tents and camper vehicles, however larger vehicles may struggle with the initial access to our priority which is narrow, so please contact us first to check this out with us. There is an outdoor tap for water by the house and a composting ‘eco’ loo in the camping field. In the near future we will be installing a water supply in the camping area. We can also provide a bbq/ fire pit but ask that you source your own fuel. Exclusive whole site group bookings are possible. **new for 2024 : we have a family size bell tent and a large teepee available for hire, fully set up for you, with or without bedding. please send us an enquiry in advance** There is a wealth of wonderful footpaths, interesting landmarks and fantastic beaches in the nearby area. The villages of Abersoch and Llanbedrog are nearby with a choice of pubs and eateries, Pwllheli has a range of larger shops. Local eggs and other produce can be bought locally too, and there is both a farm shop and village post office / general store. We can help you with finding what you need.A lovely wildflower field with basic tent camping and views across to the sea, Cilan Head and St Tudwals islands, enclosed by natural hedgerows. Only a small numbers of guests stay at any one time to keep the feeling quiet, secluded and magical. Children are welcome, however we are not accepting pets at this time as we want to establish a calm camping experience at our home before we widen access options. We can provide a barbecue or raised fire pit on request, and firewood or charcoal for a small extra charge.

Qi Gong, mindful movement sessionexperience

£10.00

Qi Gong is a mindful movement practice which shares its origins with Tai Chi and they are often taught in the same class. Sessions include breathing exersizes, gentle mobilisation of the joints, posture awareness, exploring a number of movement forms and energy rebalancing. For those more interested or experienced in these practices, i can also offer more of an exploration of some of the underlying principles of internal martial arts, and the five elements basic of traditional Chinese medicine. Sessions can be arranged at the start or end of the day, and would normally be for 30-45 minutes or longer by arrangement. one-to-one or group work is possible. Classes are run by your hipcamp host Rachel who runs Qi Gong classes locally and in wellbeing spaces at a few festivals.

Tent

I had the meadow to myself (including the pristine compost loo) with views over the bay. Facilities are basic but it’s pretty peaceful, lots of space, and Rachel is friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay again if I were in the area.
