'Epic Retreats' calls itself a boutique pop-up hotel, though that description is a long way from describing the complete project. Epic Retreats is in fact a series of eight mobile glamping cabins set to move around the Welsh countryside throughout the course of the summer months, giving people cozy abodes in the heart of Wales' wilderness.
Epic Retreats has been started in conjunction with Wales' 'Year of Legends,' a year-long celebration of nation's mythologies. As such, each of the eight pop-up cabins is inspired by a different piece of Welsh lore. One of the structures has dragon-like scales, another is shaped like a gigantic black hat, and there's another that looks like a mining shed (as a reference to Wales' industrial past.)
