  • Denbighshire working farm with ancient abbey ruins
  • Two miles from Llangollen; Llandegla Forest bike trails 15 mins' drive
  • Farm shop on site, plus bistro with bar and takeaway
Like to get a real taste of your surroundings when you’re on a break? You’ll certainly be able to do that when you stay at Abbey Farm Caravan Park, in the Denbighshire countryside a couple of miles from Llangollen. In fact, you’ll have two options for a good meal here. The first is to bring your barbecue along and stop in at the site’s farm shop for fresh meat to throw on the grill (and perhaps a milkshake or ice cream while you’re there…). The other is to book a table at the farm's bistro, open Thursday to Sunday for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, coffees and homemade cakes. It’s a pet-friendly place with indoor and outdoor seating, and has a takeaway menu too. With all that tasty food to try out, it's handy that this site is in an excellent spot for lots of outdoor activities – walks, mountain biking and canoeing are all close by, and there’s a good roster of heritage sites to visit, from the steam railway in Llangollen to the hilltop ruins of medieval Castell Dinas Brân. There’s heritage right here on site too – the ‘abbey’ of the farm’s name is in fact the ancient ruins of Valle Crusis, well worth a look while you're here. Other aspects of the site are rather more up-to-date – guests have access to a laundry room, washing-up area and chemical disposal point as well as bathrooms with toilets and showers. Abbey Farm is easily accessible from Liverpool and Manchester (both about an hour away), making it a great choice for an easy escape from city life.

What customers say

This picturesque campsite, nestled beside abbey ruins and a stream, offers easy access to Llangollen. Visitors praise the stunning location, friendly staff, and on-site bistro. While many enjoy the spacious pitches and beautiful scenery, consistent feedback highlights significant concerns regarding the cleanliness and dated state of toilet and shower facilities. Some guests also reported noise disturbances from other campers, particularly during weekends and holidays. Manager comments indicate awareness and ongoing efforts to address issues.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Location was nice. Plenty of space on the field. Had a nice time. Toilet and washing facilities were ok. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Shop and vending machines were useful. I'm new to camping so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I would definitely consider coming back. Thanks

Mega camping pod

Liked Beautiful setting, close to Llangollen. Stayed in a mega pod, it was clean and spacious, sleeps 3 comfortably 4 would lose all floor space, quiet area tucked away at the bottom of park behind the Abbey ruins, great hotel/pub just over the road with a fab kids play park, would definitely stay again.

Disliked Toilets and showers could do with some improvements very basic , girl cleaned them in the morning but floors were sopping wet so muddy footprints straight away, maybe leaving a mop and bucket would allow campers to keep ontop of cleaning after showering?
Also instead of having " No bouncy castle " signs everywhere more appropriate signs stating what is drinking water would be better 🤔

Liked Camper trip.
Loved the location, beautiful site. Stream running through.
Local walks. Dog friendly.

Disliked Big groups, loud families, music blaring. Even with NO BBQ rule for the heatwave season....one person still lit a bbq!!!!

One family lost their child! Leaving young kids running about while families drink.

Such a shame.

Local attractions

A five minute meander leads either to the rushing River Dee, or to the calm splendour of the canal, where you can admire the horse-drawn narrowboats (you can board one of these boat trips in Llangollen, five minutes’ drive away). Llangollen is world famous for its Eisteddfod international music festival, but is a lovely place to visit anytime: as well as canal boat trips you can ride on the steam railway, walk to Horseshoe Falls or take a slightly steep walk to Castell Dinas Brân (10 minutes’ drive/50 minutes' walk from the farm). For mountain bikers and ramblers, Llandegla Forest (15 minutes) is well worth a trip. It’s a privately run site with miles of trails to suit all abilities, plus a visitor centre in a pretty log cabin among the trees, which houses a great café, bike hire, a cycling shop and a workshop for professional repairs. Gentler days out nearby might include trips to Plas Newydd Historic House & Gardens (five minutes, the 18-arched Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (15 minutes) or National Trust - Chirk Castle (25 minutes).
