About Bryn Ifan
Notes from your hosts, Gwynn and Callie –
Bryn Ifan Camping
– a Haven for Nature Enthusiasts
Bryn Ifan farm has been in Gwynn's family for two generations, and Gwynn, who grew up in North Wales pursued a career as a professional photographer in London where he met Callie. They returned to North Wales to raise their family. Callie is from Cornwall and works as an illustrator and printmaker. She works from her studio on the farm producing work inspired by the local wildlife and countryside that surrounds their home.
Where it all started
20 years ago Gwynn and Callie returned to North Wales from their busy lives in London and moved to Gwynn's family Farm in 2014. In 2021 they opened Bryn Ifan Camping with a determination to provide a great eco camping experience for nature lovers, hikers and families seeking a peaceful retreat and a connection to the Welsh countryside. Gwynn and Callie's passion for the region and their attention to detail shines through, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for their guests.
