Cledan Valley
A nine-acre valley in Mid Wales where red kites circle overhead, llamas wander nearby, and Karen runs the whole thing with quiet, unhurried care.
Cledan Valley sits in a fold of hills near Caersws, on the edge of Eryri National Park in Powys. The site occupies nine acres of genuinely unspoiled countryside: streams run through the valley floor, red kites are a daily overhead presence, and otters have been spotted from the tents. This is not countryside as backdrop, it's countryside as the point.
Glamping here means bell tents, yurts, and shepherds huts, each pitched with enough space to feel private, each with its own fire pit and dedicated cooking area with a gas stove, pots, pans, and a BBQ. A lodge provides a communal social space and cover when Welsh weather arrives, and a communal campfire ties the site together in the evenings. Hot showers and clean facilities complete the picture without overcomplicating it.
Families are particularly well served. Kids paddle in the stream, play on the swings, and visit the llamas. The site layout gives enough room for children to roam freely while parents keep a relaxed eye. The bell tents are decorated with care and sized generously. Karen and the family team are attentive without hovering, arranging eggs and milk, chatting, making it easy.
Couples looking for valley seclusion find it here too: the more remote tent pitches offer real quiet, and the whole site sits well off the main road. No dogs are allowed, which keeps the atmosphere calm and the llama encounters stress-free.
