Penhein Glamping
Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales
Glamping done thoughtfully: real beds and your own hot shower in the tent, then a weekend of dens, rope swings and paddling in the brook. A nature club gives parents a quiet hour, and it's barely 30 minutes from the Severn Bridge, so ideal for a Friday-night escape.

Days out nearby
~14 miles · ~15 mins
Zoo · nearby attraction
Bristol's zoo moved to open woodland on the city's edge, so animals such as gorillas, okapi and red river hogs have far more room. Children get woodland trails and big play spaces, and it fits easily into a Bristol or Bath weekend.
~20 miles · ~30 mins
Castle / historic · ideal day trip
Brunel's iron ship sits in a dry dock with a glass 'sea' you can walk beneath, and children can climb the rigging, explore cabins and smell the galley. Immersive history right on Bristol's harbourside.

Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip
