About Bwlchgwyn Farm and Pony Trekking
Fairbourne is a small seaside town on the Cardigan Bay coast in Gwynedd, with a beach, narrow-gauge railway and access to the Snowdonia foothills behind it. Bwlchgwyn Farm and Pony Trekking sits inland from the town and takes tents, caravans, motorhomes, glamping and static lodges or pods.
Pitches come with electric hook-ups. The site has shower facilities on-site. Nightly rates start at £28. The proximity to both the coast and the mountains makes it a base for exploring either, or both.

What visitors say
We stayed here for 3 days last month and it was fantastic. The owners and staff were all really friendly and helpful. Communication was great and responses came very quickly. The site was spotlessly clean, and the shower rooms and washing facilities were really good. The views from the pitches are amazing, and there are walks available straight from the site. My wife booked onto a pony trek and had a fantastic time. The girls that ran the trek were all very friendly, experienced and helpful. We would definitely recommend it. Overall, a lovely site with great staff and owners, we'll certainly be visiting again.

Fabulous pony trekking experience in stunning surroundings. We were a family group of 11 people aged 5 - 44 on holiday and booked this very short notice. The lovely team put on an extra trek for us and the staff were all wonderful. The ponies were all calm and very well behaved, suitable for total beginners. Paid £35 per person for an hours trek which was money very well spent, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and a wonderful end to our holiday!

I booked an experienced ride so I could blow some cobwebs away on the beach. The whole ride goes out together, and the more experienced riders peel off when you reach the beach and increase the pace as long as skills allow. I had the best time on Tommy, it was so well organised, and well supported by walking staff members to look after the novice riders whilst allowing the more experienced to have a blast. The safety of everyone (including the horses!) was always in mind. Such a lovely experience, I will absolutely be back to do a private ride so I can have more time on the beach. Thanks to all the staff, it's a really lovely set up and there's so few places left like this. Please keep doing what you're doing 😊

We absolutely loved our horse-riding experience down to the beach – both my daughter and I and our friends had the best time making such special memories together. The team were fantastic: so friendly, professional, and clearly focused on safety throughout. We felt completely at ease the whole trip, especially with the extra support when crossing the railway tracks and walking down to the beach. It wasn’t just the ride either – they took the time to chat with us about the horses and the local area, which made it even more enjoyable. And the photos they captured were incredible – memories we’ll treasure forever!
