The village is the birthplace of historical David Lloyd George, so a visit to the museum is just down the road, there is also the local community-owned village pub, plus glorious sandy beaches just a five-minute drive away. Tent campers are welcome across the site's five non electric, and five 6 amp electric, large grass pitches.
