Welcome to Glyn Y Mul Farm Lone Wolf Campsite

The ‘Lone Wolf’ campsite is a privately owned niche woodland site located just outside Aberdulais in South Wales. There is a 20 acre natural deciduous woodland available for pre-booked camping.

The emphasis here is on peace and quiet, back to basics. There’s nothing fancy here. People have been coming since 1999 because it’s unusual, different, eccentric perhaps and informal.

If you want a camp site where you can play stereo’s, find a clubhouse, have shops on site etc then you are most definitely in the wrong place! There’s plenty to choose from, but this place is not the right one for you.

The site has been featured in several books and numerous press articles over the years. They were all very complimentary but did result in rather more customers, attention and resource demands than we wanted.

We had a short closure in 2012 but are now accepting campers again on a slightly smaller scale and with a little less in the way of facilities.

Please be aware that the site is strictly advanced bookings only, don’t just turn up. We only take limited numbers here.

What’s on site?

20 acres of woodland. The river Dulais borders the west side of the woods and part of the old single track Neath & Brecon railway borders the east. You cannot take vehicles into the woodland. You can park near the gate and you walk in from there. You probably wouldn’t need to walk more than 100-200 metres to find suitable camping spots but it’s worth thinking seriously about what you really need to have with you. Small camp fires are fine*, but strictly no air weapons, bows or trapping. Any kind of tents are welcome together with hammocks, tarps. We ask people to leave the place clean and tidy.

Facilities – We have male and female toilets (portaloo type), free hot shower, kitchen and wash room. You will be a 3 to 4 minute walk from the woodland to the facilities dependant on precisely where you choose to set up camp.

There maybe certain pronged dry weather conditions which would result in a suspension of camp fires owing to the safety risk

Location

We are isolated but not remote, which is an ideal compromise. 5 miles from Neath which has all the facilities you may need. 5 miles from junction 43 of the M4, 1 mile from the A465 ‘Heads of the Valleys’ Road. The farm has its own dedicated post code – SA10 8HF. Take a look on Google Maps or Google Earth.

Booking

We prefer bookings via e-mail. E-mails can be checked and responded to at a convenient time and there is then a record of everything agreed. Also e-mail if you would like to make general enquires. We normally ask for a 50% deposit up front to take bookings. Payments have to be Internet Banking Transfer or Cheque for advanced deposits, cash for balances on arrival. Unless agreed in advance campers need to be able to arrive on site before 7pm or dusk, whichever is earlier

We have grass areas available for motor homes and caravans but they cannot go into the woodland.

Directions

Finding us on a map:-

To find us on an Ordnance Survey map, you need either Land Ranger Map No 170 for the Vale of Glamorgan, or Explorer Map No. 165 for Swansea. The farm entrance is at grid reference 170 SN 782 010.
We are on an unclassified lane known as Cefn Yr Allt. This road is off of the A4109. It joins the A4109 at Aberdulais village and re-joins the A4109 2 miles further along the road just south of Crynant village. It can therefore be entered from either end. The farm entrance is half way along Cefn Yr Allt and is therefore the same distance from either end of the lane. People towing caravans should always enter from the north end of the lane at grid reference 170 SN 783 026 in order to avoid a steep hill at the south end, and having to drive through the village. This is also the route shown in the Big Sites Book. For SatNav users our post code is SA10 8HF. If the SatNav unit won’t accept a lone post code then enter ‘Cefn Yr Allt’ in the village of ‘Aberdulais’.
The green road on the map shown left is the A465 ‘Heads of the Valleys Road’. The purple road is the A4109 which runs up to Seven Sisters via Crynant. The lane we are on is the yellow road beginning to the left of the letter ‘A’ in Aberdulais, running generally north and re-joining the A4109 near to the numeral ‘9’. The farm house is next to the red diamond.

Directions from the M4 Motorway
Get to junction 43 of the M4 and take the A465 East which is signposted Merthyr Tydfil and Neath. Follow the A465 for about 3 ½ miles to it’s second main exit sign-posted Seven Sisters. Leave at this junction. At the end of the exit slip road is a roundabout. You take the third exit signed A4109. If you are towing a caravan or trailer or you have a particularly large or long vehicle then see below on this page. On entering the A4109 from the roundabout you will quickly pass a pub on the left named the Dulais Rock, and the entrance to the Aberdulais Falls, also on the left which has a set of pelican lights outside. (keep slow, many people go wrong here by over shooting the turning coming up on the left). After passing through the pelican lights, you will see a very long lay-by on the left of the road (in summer it will probably be filled with visitors to the falls). At the end of the lay-by is a turning on the left which goes up a hill. (There are speed ramps at the bottom of the hill and you should be able to see the advanced warning sign for the ramps as you approach the junction). You need to turn up that hill, called Forest Hill. Go slowly because the hill is steep and has both a left and right bend on it as you climb. At the top of the hill the road straightens out with houses on both sides. Follow the road through the houses for about 300 yards until the houses stop and the road narrows down to a single track country lane. The farm entrance is just less than 1 mile along the lane on the left hand side. It is clearly marked with the farm name and should be the only place you come to.

Please drive slowly through the village and up the lane. There are often children playing in the village near the road and there maybe dog walkers or horse riders on the lane)

DIRECTIONS FROM THE A465 ‘HEADS OF THE VALLEYS’ ROAD
Follow the A465 in the direction of Neath. You need to leave the A465 at the junction marked ‘A4109 Seven Sisters’ which is the last junction before Neath. When you come off the exit slip, you will arrive at a roundabout where you take the first exit left and you will then come immediately to a second roundabout. At that roundabout you need the 3rd available exit signed A4109. If you are towing a caravan or trailer or you have a particularly large or long vehicle then see below on this page. On entering the A4109 from the roundabout you will quickly pass a pub on the left named the Dulais Rock, and the entrance to the Aberdulais Falls, also on the left which has a set of pelican lights outside. After passing through the pelican lights, you will see a very long lay-by on the left of the road (in summer it will probably be filled with visitors to the falls). At the end of the lay-by is a turning on the left which goes up a hill. You need to turn up that hill, called Forest Hill. Go slowly because the hill is steep and has both a left and right bend on it as you climb. At the top of the hill the road straightens out with houses on both sides. Follow the road through the houses for about 300 yards until the houses stop and the road narrows down to a single track country lane. The farm entrance is just less than 1 mile along the lane on the left hand side. It is clearly marked with the farm name and should be the only place you come to.

IF YOU ARE TOWING A CARAVAN OR IN A VERY WIDE/LONG VEHICLE

If you fall into the above category – or think you might – then you would be better to enter our lane from the north end at grid reference SN 783 026. This avoids the steep hill and tight bends. There are also slightly more options for passing places in the event of meeting another vehicle.

Enter the A4109 from the roundabout on the A465 as per the above directions for all users. Then instead of turning up the hill after the long lay-by, simply stay on the A4109 for approximately a further 2 miles. You will pass a large sign on the left with the name of the village ‘Crynant’ and a speed camera sign beneath it. The entrance to our lane is 0.2 of a mile after that sign but the turning is too tight from that direction to turn in. So, overshoot the entrance to the lane, and swing round in the large lay-by that is 200 yards further onwards on the left. Then come back up to the lane and turn right into it. It’s a lot easier that it sounds.
