Practical Motorhome Independent Site Reviews

Glan-y-mor can well afford to call itself a leisure park. It is crammed so full with activities that it is far more than your average caravan park.
A four-lane bowling alley, an indoor swimming pool, a gym,
a jacuzzi, a steam room, a sauna and a solarium are just some of the outstanding facilities on offer here. They are all part of owner William Lloyd-Jones’ quest to make his park irresistible to holidaymakers. And so far, it’s working.
The park is situated in a horseshoe-shaped bay just around the headland from Aberystwyth. It is home to a large number of static caravans, yet it can also accommodate 50 tourers in a dedicated, hedged-off area with its own modern, spotless, wash block, a play area and open, grassy, spaces.
You can also take advantage of the many bars and restaurants on site, and there is a fully stocked Spar grocery shop in the grounds.
New arrivals could well find themselves torn as to what to do first, with the natural lure of Cardigan Bay right by the site entrance and vying with the tempting facilities within
the park's gates.
One must-do activity is to clamber through the ferns and gorse, and climb up Constitution Hill to enjoy the superb views over the seaside resort of Aberystwyth. If you do not fancy the climb, you can instead take the cable-hauled tramcar up to the summit.
Also, just down the road you will find a scenic steam railway. In addition, only about 15 miles away, is the 300ft-high Mynach waterfall which overlooks the spectacular wooded gorge and the legendary Devil’s Bridge.
l 3.5 miles to Aberystwyth: Cardigan Bay is one of the last remaining places in the UK where bottlenose dolphins live. Take a boat trip around the bay from here or spot the dolphins (pictured, below left) and grey seals from the coastal path.
