Whether you're a committed stargazer seeking a clear sky, or just want to sit with family and friends below a canopy of stars, there a few places better situated than Monstay.

Wild Swimming

The river Teme flows through the village of Burrington, a short drive from the Campsite. Carrying clean water water from the neighbouring Welsh hills above Powys, the river is shallow and meandering, with several pebble beaches as entry points. A perfect location for wild swimming or a summertime cool-off.
