Countytravel The beautiful Ceredigion coastline Travel book reviews
farmer-owner, told us that on one night last season he had an incredible 125 people staying! When we were there it was a lot fewer
– five tents and six caravans – so there was plenty of space to play French cricket and football in the field without annoying the other campers. If you enjoy getting back to nature, this
is somewhere you should visit. Sheep with their lambs and a horse took up half the field and three ducks took charge, quacking greetings to us campers as they paraded in convoy around the site each day. Now, we could’ve wandered down the
road to the local pub for food each evening but we’d come equipped. It was barbeque time. Delicious meat from local butchers was enjoyed in the spring sunshine and then it was time to play some more or read before getting tucked up in one of the three bedrooms our voluminous Hi Gear Sahara 6 provided. Being high up and so close to the coast it
was no surprise that the site could become breezy at times, and on our last night the wind really picked up and gave the tent (and the occupants) a good test (which we and it passed with flying colours). As easy to take down and pack away as
it was to put up, the tent will soon be used again – I just have to find another delightful location before we head off again once more.
