Our Top UK Glamping Hidden Gems

Somerset charms visitors with amazing scenery, not least on Exmoor, which it shares with Devon, but especially Cheddar Gorge with its amazing showcaves and a beautiful stretch of coast. The elegant city of Bath with its restored Roman spa is a must see, while the Jane Austen Centre presents accounts of the author’s time as a local resident through costumed guides.

The area around Mid Wales’s Radnor Forest offers a timeless landscape with thriving wildlife, from red kites to a happy herd of muntjac deer. Humans walk, cycle or horse ride through the pine-scented surroundings, also popular with motorcycle tourists. Water-Break-it’sNeck is a spectacular waterfall at the end of a gorge.

A little further south, Carmarthenshire is home to treasures including the National Botanic Garden of Wales, housing thousands of plants from around the world, and the newly opened Museum of Land Speed, showcasing records and record attempts at Pendine Sands from the 1920s to the present. Don’t miss Dylan Thomas’s Boathouse at Laugharne.

Shepherds Hut

Nestled on the edge of the Radnor Forest, set in the Cascob valley, 8 miles over the border in Mid-Wales in Powys sits Cwm Cottage Shepherds Hut. Escape to the peaceful, secluded and beautiful Welsh hamlet of Cascob. Enjoy uninterrupted views, incredible night-time stars, historic towns, many footpaths and the wonderful Radnor Forest.

The Shepherds Hut has a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and king-size bed, along with all the luxuries you would expect from a self catering glamping experience.

The hut is set within a working farm and is surrounded by fields of sheep...a fitting setting for a Shepherds Hut. There is no WIFI and very limited phone signal, the perfect place to get away from it all and really relax.
