Wild Cherry Camping

Wild Cherry may be in a secluded spot, but its border location make it a top pick for getting out in North Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire. Stay put in Wales to conquer some of the castles nearby – Chirk Castle is a mere 10-minute drive and you’re in for pretty views from the hilltop Castell Dinas Brân ruins (15 minutes). Slightly further afield is Powis Castle and its gorgeous gardens (40 minutes), while Whittington Castle (10 minutes) is over in Shropshire. Spend some time in Chester (half an hour) to visit the cathedral and Roman amphitheatre, with a wander of the Chester city walls for good measure. You could also stroll along the riverbank, browse the shops or make a day of it at Chester Zoo. More kid-friendly days can be had at Park Hall Countryside Experience (10 minutes), for tractor rides, pony grooming and plenty of indoor and outdoor play areas, and there are more animals to meet at Tŷ Mawr Country Park (five minutes). Llangollen Railway (15 minutes) is the spot for steam trains and themed days.
