  • Small, quiet and family-friendly North Wales farm site near Wrexham
  • A 25-minute drive to Chester Zoo; an hour to Snowdonia National Park
  • Spacious dog-friendly pitches; shops, pubs and cafés 20 minutes’ walk
Fancy a foray to a peaceful site near Wrexham in North Wales? The pitches at Coxwood Farm are set on an acre of secluded farmland, surrounded by mature oak trees and securely fenced in away from the road. Quiet and rural this spot may well be, with spacious pitches and picnic benches tucked away under those sprawling trees, but it also puts guests in pole position for exploring Snowdonia National Park and the bright lights of Chester. Your dogs are welcome to join you here, but please bear in mind that this is a working farm so they must remain on leads at all times when around the pitches – for more of a chance to hare about there are plenty of footpaths directly accessed from the site, and the lane outside is pretty peaceful and safe for a quick doggy stroll. You can dig out local amenities – pubs, cafés and takeaways – in the villages of Marford and Gresford, both around 20 minutes’ walk. Going down the self-catering route? There’s an essentials shop for groceries in Marford, and supermarkets for bigger stocking-up expeditions in Wrexham or at Broughton Shopping Park (both 15 minutes’ drive). On the practical front, there’s running water and a single toilet and shower block on the pitches, with the grey waste facility tucked away behind that. Hardstand parking is also available for cars away from the pitches.

Liked Peaceful location, easy flat 25 minutes stroll into Rossett with pubs and Restaurants , bakery, co op store, cash point, hairdressers, pharmacy. Excellent dog walks from site. Shower was a delight to use as not a push button one. The picnic benches are a touch. Recommend taking a torch.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked What isn’t to like?
Simple checking in process, just turn up and pick a pitch.
Large pitches with plenty of room either side.
Very small site and those with caravans leave their cars in a separate parking area, reducing traffic.
Toilet and shower clean and practical with cleaning materials available for you to use.
Loved the owls and rescue pigs and the information about them.
Lots of public footpaths on the site for dog walking.
Picnic tables dotted around, lovely views.

Lovely and peaceful Immaculate toilet and shower Beautiful walks and villages nearby…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The views are amazing and the place is so peaceful. Only 5 spaces so nice and private. Nothing around as on a farm.
We walked to the pub along the bridal path, this took about 40mins and then to the shop adds an extra 10mins to the journey.
Dogs are allowed and camp fires. It was just what we needed.

Local attractions

Kids part of your holiday plans? Then it’s Chester Zoo (25 minutes’ drive) for you, with its big cats, keeper talks and animal-feeding sessions, before treating them to goodies at the Ice Cream Farm (half an hour). Wear them out on the wacky slides and rides at The Crocky Trail (25 minutes), and take care of any rainy days with a visit to Chester’s Storyhouse (20 minutes), where you can see blockbuster films and seasonal pantos. Active types can be in Snowdonia in an hour, for sporty adventures on hills, mountains and numerous lakes, as well as catching a few artificial waves on the surf lake at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (also an hour). For quieter sorts of Welsh escapes, the ivy-clad remains of photogenic Holt Castle (10 minutes) are well-worth discovering, and there are pretty walks alongside the River Dee nearby. The National Trust-owned Chirk Castle (25 minutes) was once a mighty medieval fortress and now has elaborate interiors stuffed with priceless antiques to tour, while at Erddig (20 minutes, also National Trust) you can wander spectacular formal water gardens.
