Tucked away in Herefordshire, on the edge of the Welsh borders, nestles Yellow Wood – five acres of ancient woodland surrounded by footpaths, more trees and a stunning backdrop of mountains. If you’ve ever camped in the States or Down Under, you’ll already get what bush-camping is all about. And this was the intention of bushman Paul when he set up the camp three years ago. This site re-writes the camping rule book. You won’t find a shop that’ll freeze your cool blocks or top-up your camping gas here. Certainly not. Yellow Wood is all about appreciating and learning how to work in harmony with your surroundings and getting down and dirty with nature. Party central this ain’t. There’s a quiet policy from 11pm until 7am – so campers (as well as all the little furry fellas you’ll no doubt be sharing the wood with, perched up in trees or tucked down burrows) can fully appreciate their natural surroundings. Families who’ve stayed before have made signs for some of the pitches, so if you’re feeling adventurous you could opt for Wolf’s Retreat – or dream up your own name. Yellow Wood is the ultimate back-to-nature experience – and like those who’ve been here before you, you’ll be completely hooked.

Nearby attractions
Handily, there’s a nature reserve right behind Yellow Wood. If you want a river walk, you’re only a pleasant 1½ miles away. A fab canoeing spot is a 2½-mile walk away; several local companies offer drop-offs and pick-ups. Wye Valley Canoes (01497 847213) are particularly amenable. The Brecon Beacons National Park is only 7 miles away and offers most outdoor pursuits, from hiking to caving and kayaking.
Food and drink
There’s a pub in the village about 1 mile back down the track. There’s another pub 21/2 miles away by the river. Both serve good food and cater for kids. If you run out of milk there’s a garage a couple of miles away. Head for Hay-on- Wye for a Co-op, greengrocers, bakers and cafés.
