  • Adults-only glamping near Brecon, with Black Mountains views
  • A 10-minute drive to the Taff Trail; Crickhowell Castle half an hour
  • Cosy glamping pods with kitchenette and woodburner
Romantic weekend? Monmouthshire hiking? Cycling jaunt? 68 Degrees West, in the village of Cradoc, makes a fine base for any and all of these. It's a peaceful luxury glamping spot with views of the Black Mountains and Pen y Fan, and close to the historic market town of Brecon. Golfers, this is a fine spot for you too, as 68 Degrees West is right next door to Cradoc’s championship golf course – play a round, knock some balls around on the driving range, or head down to the clubhouse for a drink and bite to eat. It’s also less than 50 minutes’ drive to Ryder Cup host Celtic Manor. Pet-free and designed for adults only, the cedar-clad glamping pods are fully insulated and heated with woodburners for any chillier days. Bed linen and towels are provided, and tea, coffee and sugar are left in the kitchenettes for your much-needed arrival cuppa, along with other useful bits and pieces like washing-up liquid. If you run out of essentials, you’re bound to find them in Brecon (10 minutes’ drive), where there are pubs and takeaways to keep you fed and watered.

Local attractions

Hiking and mountain-biking trails – easy to challenging – are all around you in the Brecon Beacons National Park, with a gentle route along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal towpath (10 minutes’ drive) for anyone sticking to the flat. Brecon also marks the start of the Taff Trail, a popular walking and cycling path that heads right to Cardiff Bay (around 5.5 hours’ biking). The area is ideal for horse lovers too, with 600 miles of bridle paths and tracks accessible from Ellsemere Riding Centre, while complete novices can take lessons at Cantref - Adventure Farm in South Wales (both 20 minutes’ drive), where you can also cosy up to cuddly goats and lambs (in season). For a slice of Welsh history, clamber up to the crumbling clifftop ruins of Carreg Cennen (an hour), visit the remains of medieval Crickhowell Castle (half an hour) and learn more about the area at The Royal Welsh Regimental Museum (10 minutes) in Brecon.
