Preseli Glamping

Coastal woodland glamping and meadow camping pitches, nestled in a beautiful wooded valley, with short walk to a secluded sandy beach.

About: Located on the wild and dramatic north Pembrokeshire coast between Fishguard and St David’s, Preseli Glamping is near the hill-top village of Mathry, and is a great spot from which to explore, right in the unspoilt heart of the National Park. 14 spacious camping glades fringe a rolling meadow amongst the wildflowers and woodland saplings, whilst a luxurious geodesic dome is sheltered in an arboreal amphitheatre of birdsong, hidden at the foot of the valley. A rural retreat, rich in wildlife, Preseli Glamping offers a unique opportunity to restore and reconnect with Nature in a secluded coastal sanctuary. With a brand-new sparkling bathroom block, plenty of hot water provided by our air-source heat pump, private picnic tables and fire pits with cooking grills for every pitch, and a wide open grassy space for yoga, reading in the sun, and children’s games, it’s the perfect setting for families, couples or groups of friends to escape, relax and reset in beautiful, comfortable surroundings.

Free Wifi is available around the car parking area, plus there are charge points for your devices, and a freezer for your freezer-blocks. Firewood is available to purchase on site. Kids are safe to play freely as the meadow is not suitable for vehicles, so all cars are parked securely in the private camping car park. Wheelbarrows are provided to transport your bags to your camping glade.

A plethora of local walking routes, starting and finishing at the campsite, as well as longer coast path walks which link up with the coastal shuttle buses, will immerse you in the natural and historical heritage of the landscape. From craggy cliffs and undulating coves, ancient drowned forests to Neolithic burial chambers; from Tregwynt Mill the oldest working woollen mill in Wales, to the magnificent St David’s 12th century cathedral. Exploring these well marked trails, swathed in bluebells, sea campion, yellow gorse and pink thrift flowers, you can spot inquisitive grey seals bobbing by the rocky shoreline, pods of harbour porpoise and Atlantic sea birds such as gannets fishing, peregrines diving and kittiwakes nesting. Mull over mesmerising rock pools where ruby-red beadlet anemones sway, blennies dart between pebbles and winkle shells shimmer in the sun… Comb the tideline for a mermaid’s purse or sea-smoothed driftwood.

After taking an invigorating sunset dip in the clean fresh waters of Abermawr bay, back in the comfort of the campsite, cosy up and cook on your open fire and relax for the evening under the starry night sky. Or alternatively, take a short stroll up to the pretty hilltop village of Mathry, where there is a local pub, The Farmers Arms, offering hearty meals, a cosy open fire and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Also in Mathry is Siop Fach tea shop, where you can enjoy delicious full-cooked breakfasts, lunches and delightful afternoon teas, all prepared with fresh local ingredients.
