Escape to nature, a short drive from Cardiff
Nestled in the foothills of Gwaelod y Garth, Garth Glamping is a family-run retreat that blends the beauty of the Welsh countryside with the comfort of thoughtfully designed bell tents. Just a short drive from Cardiff city centre, it’s the perfect balance of rural escape and city convenience.
