Why you'll love it at Ty'n Cornel


About the site


Come to Tyncornel if you want to get away from it all. All the indoor facilities of the hostel are on offer, but you have a chance to really get back to nature and escape the bustle of city life. Pitches are within a grassed garden area without electric, to suit small tents only. There is also a fully self-contained shepherd's hut. It's important to book in advance. Picnic tables on the patio have stunning views. Between March and November, a warden is present most weeks. Sorry, dogs cannot stay.

A note from the site themselves...

We love the peace and quiet at our hostel and campsite. Only one other house is in sight (and it is a farm nearly a mile away). Otherwise you are only looking at the fields, hills, sheep and trees. There is hardly any passing traffic as ordinary vehicles can't get any further along the track than the hostel. Sit at the picnic tables on the patio and enjoy the view (and often the sun !).

The site is ideal for walking and mountain biking, with routes starting right from the hostel. The Doethie valley is particularly attractive.

The Cambrian Way long distance footpath passes by and spans over 180 miles, taking you past stunning mountain views, through beautiful valleys, national parks and more.

During the day, be on the look out for interesting birds and at night you're in the right spot for stargazing. The mountains are a Dark Skies area, known for their clear skies (and low light pollution).

Get to know the local towns and villages, Llanddewi-Brefi, Tregaron and Lampeter or take a walk around the Llyn Brianne Reservoir and the attractive ruins of Strata Florida Abbey.
