ABOUT
Ty Llwyd Fach is a campsite and farm focused on nurturing biodiversity, located near Cross Hands in South Wales. It is well located at the end of the M4.
Gwilym is a queer counsellor, trainer and community connector and has been living here for nearly a decade. He has been nurturing communities and wildlife to take root and thrive around the place. He loves doing guided tours around the land – maybe barefoot?
Take in the wildflower meadow, with mown paths; get lost in the willow circle field; cwtch up in the dome and splash in the stream. Lie in a hammock in the ancient woodland and look for lizards and a rare marsh fritillary butterfly.
We have been welcoming campers to share the delights the land has to offer for a few years now. We attract an eclectic bunch of campers whose interests vary from wilderness to queer spirit, but they all have one thing in common: they love the sense of freedom Ty Llwyd Fach allows its visitors.

Willow Circle Field
A large circle of weeping willows around a large fire pit.
Small paths, nooks and crannies around the field, managed for wildlife and excellent for hide and seek!
- 70+ meter walk from car parking space.
- Reasonably level ground
- Good for staying up late
Wildflower Meadow
A dynamic, beautiful, open flower-rich meadow. Buzzing and chirruping insects. Orchids and yellow rattle, birdsfoot trefoil and meadowsweet. Paths mown for a lovely stroll. It’s mowed each year – a changeable landscape.
- Closest to parking spaces
- A mix of long grass and mown paths
- Look out for the hammock
The pond
A magnet for wildlife and a peaceful place. Teeming with frogs, newts, dragonflies and a nesting pair of lawn flamingos.
The Orchard
A beautiful pear orchard with mown camping pitches and circles of wild flowers. A living willow dome – great for shade and for cozy campfires- and easy access to the rest of the farm, this is the best place for tents!
- Close to parking spaces
- Two hot showers and two toilets
- Reasonably level ground
The Butterfly Meadow
Rare, unimproved wildflower meadow with devils-bit scabious and betony. Over the stream, it’s a distant, wild experience.
Home to many lizards and rare butterflies.
- 150+ meter walk across uneven ground and stream
- Rough, tussocky ground
- Sometimes ponies graze here
The woods
Ancient woodland, damp moss and ferns with a stream running through. Wild garlic and bluebells, oak, holly, buzzards, woodpeckers and dormice!
