Biblins Youth Campsite

 

	Biblins campsite is situated in the beautiful Wye Valley along a mile of riverside meadows four miles north of Monmouth, close to the famous Symonds Yat rapids. This location makes it one of the best places in Southern Britain for young people to enjoy outdoor education in spectacular scenery.  For the safety of the young people use is restricted to pre-booked youth groups and qualified staff. Its seclusion in the depths of the Wye Gorge gives Biblins a very special “backwoods” feel.  The site is situated in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty  and is surrounded by the woodland of the Wye Gorge Site of Special Scientific Interest. Accommodation consists of The Bunkhouse with room for 35, The Burrow, sleeping 19 and camping for up to 450 in 11 fields. There is no electricity on site but the Bunkhouse has a generator. Open fires are allowed on designated hearths and firewood is available for a small additional charge. Many outdoor activities are available locally. There are walking and cycling trails in the Wye Valley itself and in the nearby Forest of Dean. The site is less than 2 miles from the A40 giving good motorway access from the M4, M5 and M50.

New for 2008

Innovative new buildings allow Biblins to be enjoyed by a wider range of groups than ever, including younger children and those without expensive equipment. Also, the long-awaited toilet block at the downstream end of the site is finally opened.

For more information about how we raised the funds and how the new facilities can be booked see the links on the LHS of this page.

This project was part-financed by the European Union (EAGGF) and DEFRA through the Herefordshire Rivers LEADER+ Programme.
