Priory Mill CampingIf you want a truly special, small, secluded place to camp, this stunning riverside meadow will provide it. The level, grassy field meanders alongside
the river offering plenty of space and privacy. The only buildings visible are the traditional stone built farmhouse and watermill. The nearby road is
unclassified and quiet, so the only noises are the gentle swirling of the river, the inquisitive hens and sometimes the Tawny Owls at night. Locally
produced charcoal and firewood is provided, plus metal trays, enabling that long lost, essential ingredient of traditional camping - a campfire - to
be experienced.
The main focal point has to be the river Honddu; this is described as one of the most important wildlife rivers in Europe, boasting Salmon, Otter,
British Crayfish, Wild Trout and Bull-Head Fish. (Fishing is available.) In addition to attracting campers it is also home to Herons, Dippers and
Kingfishers.
Recycling is encouraged with separate bins. Free range eggs are for sale. Pristine hot showers, wash rooms and toilets are housed in a bow roofed,
cedar boarded cabin which is kept cosy, warm and dry with sheepswool insulation.
The unspoilt natural haven of peace and quiet in the Brecon Beacons is helped by the request for no noise after 10:30, which is also when the cabin
lights go off; so no light pollution.
