  • Family-run farm half a mile from Devil's Bridge Falls
  • Wildlife haven a 20-minute drive from Aberystwyth
  • Peaceful garden and a site shop; bistro takeaway within a mile
What a busy time can be had in the gorge little corner of Ceredigion that houses Erwbarfe Farm Caravan Park – it’s bursting with attractions in all directions, including the famed waterfalls of Devil’s Bridge Falls half a mile away, the stupendous coastline of Cardigan Bay within 12 miles, and the upland wilderness of the Cambrian Mountains and their top peak Plynlimon. Then there’s the fishing, horse riding, red kite spotting, mountain biking and mining history to plunge into too – it’s not surprising that guests have been returning to this family-run farm for over 40 years… As might be expected among all this, the views and facilities of Erwbarfe Farm will make hearts leap too… pitch up here for scenic sights in all directions, loads of room ready for play, and a peaceful park garden for picnics and nodding dreamily over a novel. Amenities are well kept and include two blocks (one with toilets and the other with toilets and showers), a launderette and water taps flowing fresh Welsh mountain water sourced above the farm. Source groceries, ice cream, Calor gas and other essentials in the site shop; other bits and bobs for sale as well as a bistro with takeaway are within a mile, and there are plenty of local pubs serving food (the park noticeboard has info on and menus of local eateries). A rich selection of restaurants is at Aberystwyth, 20 minutes’ drive away – or land your own catch with a sea fishing trip along the coast.

Disliked: Being left waiting to check in... We understand things happen beyond your control but instead of leaving us waiting for nearly 3hrs a little note on the reception door to say had to pop out, here is where you will be pitched ect ect and we will catch up with you when we are back... it wasnt very professional to be honest....... but everything else was just perfect

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Toilet facilities were always very clean, probably the best I’ve used recently on a campsite. Nice to have a family shower room too. Owners friendly and helpful, lovely location and beautiful views.

Disliked: We were on a hill witch can’t be helped but tent was on a slope for the holiday which made sleeping arrangements interesting.

Local attractions

Fisherfolk from all over the country use Erwbarfe Farm as a base for some of the best casting off in west Wales: the nearby Rheidol and Ystwyth rivers yield salmon and trout, while rainbow and brown trout can be landed in the local lakes. If you’ve never dabbled in the art, ask the farm staff for a meet with their almost-resident fishing instructor David, who can give fly fishing lessons and advice on site, and/or pick up a free copy of the site’s Angling in the Heart of Pumlumon booklet in reception. The reception information point on site has brochures and leaflets on all the other things to see and do locally: you'd have to read rapid-ly to get through them all, but should certainly include the fab falls of Devil’s Bridge, where visitors including Will Wordsworth have flowed to for many a year. Numerous beaches including New Quay, Borth and Ynys Las (plus dunes) are within easy driving distance of Erwbarfe Farm, as is stunning Cardigan Bay 12 miles away and its award-winning beaches, walks on the Ceredigion Coast Path, smuggling the family into caves, and – with luck – spying the UK’s biggest pod of dolphins.
