Quiet adults-only rural caravan park
In between Wrexham (15 minutes' drive) and Chester (20 minutes)
Wifi available; a 20-minute walk to Caergwrle’s pubs and takeaways

A peaceful environment for eyeing up the Welsh hills? You’ve got it at New Farm Caravan Park, an adults-only site set between Wrexham and Chester that doesn’t allow gatherings or parties. Use this serene spot as your base for exploring the local area, including the ruins of the 13th-century Caergwrle Castle (a 15-minute stroll), or wander through the rural landscape up Hope Mountain (55 minutes) and around Alyn Water Country Park (three miles away). Fishing and horse riding are to be had within a mile. If pottering about outdoors isn’t enough to satisfy you unless there’s a pint at the end of the pursuit, amble to one of the local inns in Caergwrle (20 minutes on foot) for a meal and a drink. Takeaways are open in the village too, including a bakery, Indian and Chinese, for bringing back to your spacious pitch, plus there’s also a train station for those travelling on public transport. New Farm has a simple feel – and that’s its appeal – but it does have regularly cleaned toilets and showers. And while kids aren’t allowed, dogs are, so you can usher your four-legged friend around the hotspots of north Wales while staying here.

Local attractions

Amble around Alyn Waters Country Park from the site (less than 10 minutes’ drive), traversing woodland and grassland past a river and into a nature reserve; cyclists might prefer the tracks in Llandegla Forest (25 minutes), which also has a mountain-biking centre, while drivers can see stunning scenery from the Horseshoe Pass (25 minutes). Not far from here is Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (20 minutes), a massive 18-arch stone and cast iron bridge created by Thomas Telford to carry water in 1805. Visit the awe-inspiring structure, then see more ace architecture in urban areas like Wrexham and Chester (15 and 20 minutes away, respectively). The famed Chester Zoo (25 minutes) and racecourse are on the outskirts of the latter city; head into the centre and shop in the chic boutiques as well or stay on the edge of town and browse for bargains in the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet (half an hour). Further north east from here is the coast, with the sandy beaches of Rhyl 45 minutes’ drive away and the Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno reachable via train from Caergwrle in an hour and 20 minutes.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Flat pitches but very small if not arriving in a caravan

Disliked: Small pitches Dirty mouldy toilets and showers The single separate toilet didn't have a hand wash basin No bins in the toilets Elec metered but they split your plug with other users Was told don't fill your water tank to full as cost a lot of money

Electric optional grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: Der Campingplatz ist wunderschön gelegen und sehr ruhig. Allerdings sind auch Kinder gar nicht erst zugelassen . Aber das Betreiber Ehepaar ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Ist jeder Zeit erreichbar und schaut nach dem Rechten. Sie haben viele Informationen zur Umgebung und zu Wales geliefert. Schöne sanitäre Räumlichkeiten und sehr sauber. Ist nicht ganz neu, aber sehr großzügig. Wir haben den Platz als Ausgangspunkt für Liverpool enutzt und man kommt sehr zügig dahin. Ein schöner Platz und ich würde jeder Zeit wieder kommen
