  • Peaceful site with a two-bedroom cabin near the Wales–England border
  • Alderford Lake watersports 10 minutes’ drive; Chirk Castle 35 minutes
  • Dog-friendly; well-equipped kitchen; sun lounger in the garden
A peaceful site surrounded by splendid Welsh countryside, Nook Cabin sits close to the border with England, a 15-minute drive from the Shropshire market town of Whitchurch. Fenn’s, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve, with its wild peat bogs and heathland (not to mention thriving birdlife, including curlews and hen harriers) stretches just to the south. Accommodation is in (you guessed it) a cabin – a two-bedroom log cabin, to be precise. And a pretty well equipped one, too. There’s a bathroom with a hot-water shower, plus a kitchen with a microwave oven, a kettle and a range of utensils, along with a table where you can gather the troops for family meals. If you’d rather head to the pub for a traditional dinner, the nearest one is about 10 minutes’ drive away, in Hanmer. Added bonus: after eating here, you can kickstart your digestion with a stroll on the banks of Hanmer Mere lake. Back at base, step outside and breathe in the clean forest air as you unwind on a sun lounger with a glass of wine, observing the antics of the resident animals (cows, horses and chickens). Active types can lace up their boots, put the dog on the lead and set off to explore the area. Within a 10-minute drive, you can reach the Llangollen branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, with its waterfront paths, fishing spots and canoe launches. If you’re into watersports, head to Alderford Lake (10 minutes) for an inflatable adventure course, in addition to paddleboard and canoe hire.

Local attractions

Inspired by and based on Tom Blofeld’s children’s books, the adventure grounds at BeWILDerwood Cheshire (15 minutes’ drive) include treehouses, rope bridges, zipwires and assorted timber structures in the middle of a lush forest. There are also picnic areas, plus organised activities throughout the year. Built in the late 13th century, National Trust - Chirk Castle (35 minutes) has elegant interiors hung with tapestries and paintings, plus displays of medieval weapons and other decorative objects. In the surrounding parkland, you might be able to spot birdlife including woodpeckers and kestrels, as well as a well-preserved stretch of Offa’s Dyke. High atop a green hill overlooking Llangollen is Castell Dinas Brân (40 minutes), which was built in the 1260s and destroyed less than 20 years later by the English. Take a stroll among its imposing ruins while taking in spectacular and far-reaching views of the Dee Valley.
