Why stay here ...
We are a rural, small, friendly, family-run site, nestled between the Golden Valley and the Black Mountains. Based on top of a hill, surrounded by farmland, we have the most amazing sunrises and sunsets, in a peaceful setting, with the sounds of nature and the most amazing star-studded skies on a clear night.
Penylan Farm is home to the Culpin Family, the award-winning Ty Gwyn Cider and five star accredited, Ty Gwyn Holidays. Facilities include a licenced bar with WiFi, indoor and outdoor seating, table football, bookshop and a plumbed in toilet and shower. Free tasters are available to help you decide whether you like cold sparkling ciders or still draught cider straight from the vat. We also sell local ales, gin, apple juice, soft drinks, snacks and preserves. If you visit in the autumn you may discover one of the best farming smells as Alex presses the cider apples!
The Cider Site is secluded with four pitches and panoramic views of the magnificent countryside. Uniquely located with an outlook across the Monnow Valley, we are perfectly located for walking, kayaking, fishing, cycling, or something a little different such as wild swimming, gin making, axe throwing, blacksmithing or llama trekking! Perfectly placed between two historic market towns; Hereford and Abergavenny, we are also ideally located for shopping, visiting castles, churches, abbeys, Hereford Cathedral, visiting beautiful gardens, farmers markets or seeking out delightful gastro pubs.
Not one but three traditional, dog friendly country pubs are within walking distance. There is also a local chippy, two village shops and a cafe available within minutes. There are public footpaths opposite and adjacent to the site and with an ice cream farm, village pubs and the Monnow river to keep you company, it can be easy to go further than your original plans.
Both Garway and Ewyas Harold Common are a stone’s throw away, with a warren of walks to explore, bountiful native flora and fauna and you may even bump into a wild pony or two. The stunning Skirrid, Sugar Loaf and Black Mountains can be seen from the farm, all fantastic peaks to explore. Offa’s Dyke, The Wye Valley Walk and Pen Y Fan along with the rest of the Brecon Beacons, home to waterfalls and breath taking walks are all close by. There is a wonderful canal that links Abergavenny and Brecon, with a wonderful round walk or two from the quaint town of Crickhowell. You can walk, cycle, or perhaps hire a boat for the day?
So to sum up, whatever your preferred tipple, and whether you’d rather spend your day mountain hiking or sightseeing, the Cider Site has something for all to enjoy. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Most welcoming owner ever.
Cider Site
Laura could not have been more accommodating. We had a leak so no running water and she let us use the sink in their porch! Also came to wave us goodbye and ask if everything was ok. The views are outstanding. The fields have become very boggy due to the weather but there are plenty of walks to be had around the quiet lanes. We will definitely return.
Peaceful Beauty
Cider Site
This site has amazing views, 3 level hardstanding and one slightly sloping grass pitch. Shower/loo is very clean. Host very welcoming and of course a cider shop/ bar in the latter part of the week. Only thing I can't understand as why we are the only van here. The pre-pay/order breakfasts available on the website are also excellent with lots of homemade goodies. This is everything a CL should be and more. Oh, Did I mention Ewys Harold within 20 minutes walk with two pubs serving food, a village store, two butchers, fish and chip shop and more. Or Pontrilas with a takeaway. Lovely footpaths heading off in every direction and dog friendly. This site deserves more visits or maybe I should just keep it a secret for us?
Beautiful & Peaceful
Cider Site
Laura gave us a very warm and friendly welcome. The Pitch is hardstanding and is level. A very peaceful site. The views are absolutely amazing. The Cider Bar on site is worth a visit and Alex is very welcoming too and very knowledgable regarding the Cider process. We stayed in our Motorhome with the dogs and walked from the site each day. They sell a small OS Map which we used for our walks, but Laura was very knowledgable on the walks too and gave us some good advice. Laura and Alex are a lovely friendly couple and even though they have busy lives with children and the Cider Bar they are very accommodating and approachable. Good luck Laura with the upcoming new arrival and continue with all your good and hard work, it was very much appreciated. We will be back.
Excellent Cider and views!
Cider Site
We decided not to travel too far from Bristol for Coronation Weekend, we know the area quite well as we're keen cyclists. I picked Cider Farm as reasonably priced (we don't need or want to pay for ehu) and the view looked great, especially as the forecast wasn't great it was quite reassuring to be on hard standing. Pitch 3 had the best view (as long as no-one on the grass pitch). Only one other van on a BH weekend! Oh and the cider may have swayed me, it was excellent. Having a shower too was perfect after bike rides, lots of space, plenty hot water and very clean!
We had no problems at all maneuvering our 7m Ford Transit camper van in/out, no faffing trying to find a level spot either.
Easy to get to many different places, flat and hilly bike rides/walks. We were visiting family in Leominster on Saturday and enjoyed a pint of Ty Gwyn Cider at the bar on our return. We cycled up Gospel Pass on Sunday and down to Hay on Wye (the dry day). Monday we lunched in Abergavenny. We only scratched the surface and will definitely return. Lovely welcome by Alex too.
Thank you Laura and Alex.
