Abermarlais Caravan Park

Alan Rogers Review of Abermarlais Caravan Park

Apart from the attractions of south or mid-Wales for a stay, this sheltered, family-run park could also double as a useful transit stop close to the main holiday route for those travelling to Pembrokeshire. In a natural setting, up to 88 touring units are accommodated in one fairly flat, tapering, five-acre grass field edged by mature trees and a stream. Pitches are numbered and generously spaced around the perimeter and on either side of a central, hedged spine at the wider end, with 46 electrical hook-ups (10A) and one hardstanding. Backpackers have a small, separate area.

The park is set in a sheltered valley with a range of wildlife and nine acres of woodland walks. There is also an old walled garden, with some pitches and lawns, that screens the park, both audibly and visibly, from the A40 road. However, the most sought after pitches are beside the stream a haven for wildlife. A torch would be useful.
