Site 21 – Brecon Beacons Caravan Club Site

 Part of our twenty:twenty challenge is to visit Wales. We love going to Wales and have visited many different parts of the country in the past. The Welsh countryside is beautiful and we love getting outside to explore all the mountains, rivers and coasts that it has to offer. The first mountain that Ella ever ‘bagged’ was Snowdon when she was only four years old.

The Brecon Beacons Caravan Club site is lovely. Newly refurbished in 2013, it is clean and well-kept and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The large site accommodates many pitches, including tents and has two toilet blocks, a play area, a playground and a dog-walking field. Although we never visited it, there is a pub within easy walking distance should you wish to eat out or nip out for a drink.

The Brecon Beacons site is ideally situated for walks around the area as well as many other attractions. Not one to miss out on an outdoor adventure we laced up our walking boots and walked up Pen Y Fan in the wind. We also pumped up the inflatable ring and had fun floating down some rapids on the River Urk, near Brecon. On our last day we walked from the site along the canal, admiring the narrow boats and Brecon hire boats. The girls (and us) were keen to go on one; we will have to come back later in the year to fulfill that wish.

We completed a few more of our challenges whilst here: wake up for the dawn chorus, make musical instruments, write a song about caravanning, read a book and leave it at the book swap and grow your own herb garden.
