Motorhome - England & Wales

(Pressing  TOP  reloads to top of current page)

This page will be used as an initial display of some of our favourite photos from motorhoming during our travels in England and Wales, almost exclusively whilst lawfully 'wild camping' (see 'Land Access Code').

Just love rural Wales. Somehow the evening and morning light is so often stunning. Here we have a selection of photos taken on an overnight stop at the side of the B4391. The first two show the layby with our van and the nearby trout loch above (Llyn Morwynion). Fairly routine..But here's an important point about the whole concept of Photo-Wild...the remaining five photos were taken from within 10ft of the motorhome, just a little later at dusk. If we had travelled on to a caravan site that evening we would have missed the change of light for those stunning dusky views (as far as the Lleyn Peninsular to the west).
               

 

Stopped overnight on the headland parking area  near to the South Stack lighthouse on Anglesey (and the castellated Cytaiu'r Gwyddelod ?? apparently). Stunning vistas over Penrhyn Mawr towards Snowdonia. A harvest moon; and motorhomers chat whilst taking the the necessary sunset shots.
                

Still on Anglesey views looking out over the island from our wee secret wild motorhome place at Mynydd Bodafon.

   
   
    

Back into England and north into the Pennines, one of our favourite opposite Ribblehead Station on the Carlisle to Settle railway. We use it frequently as a pleasant and quiet overnight, when travelling down to Willow from Scotland.

           

Another stop en-route is on the A592 on the banks of Ullswater in the Lakes.

    

Next over to the Long Mynd in Shropshire (it's some climb up in an old motorhome....we found the Ratlinghope road the least strenuous).

         

Back into Wales this time Llyn Clywedog Resevoir in the Cambrian Hills, Mid Wales - from the B4518.

   

 

Lovely spot in the hills above Trawsfynydd, at the Afon Gain. Chatting to the friendly farmer, he told us that the stream is sadly 'dead' of fish etc due to old mine pollution near to the river's source.. but still a charming spot.

      
 

Stopped on a track off the A4085 adjacent to the narrow guage 'Welsh Highland Railway' near Rhyd Ddu, with a lovely view of Moel Hebog to the south. Then, of course, along came a steam train to show it was a real railway.

   

Views from the 'viewpoint' on the A498 east of Snowden. The first two of Mt Snowden, about 3 miles to the west - folk on the summit can just be seen on the darker photo. The second two views are down the valley from the viewpoint.

          

A secluded valley in an area between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains in South Wales.
