  • Modern holiday park on the border between England and Wales
  • Oswestry and Wrexham within 15 minutes' drive; Chester 30 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with all-weather pitches; pub five minutes' walk
Entertaining the idea of a cross-border break? For comfy hols on the England–Wales border, take a look at Foxtail Holiday Park, a modern site a couple of minutes' walk from the Llangollen Canal. Even savvy locals would be forgiven for being outfoxed by the geography around here, as this green agricultural landscape straddles the border in ways that make it difficult to keep up with which country you're in (any Cymraeg on the road signs is often a helpful clue). And letting yourself lose your bearings isn't without appeal in this part of the world – crisscross the surrounding terrain along the Llangollen Canal or Offa's Dyke Path if you fancy days of rambling (both are clearly signposted, so there's little chance of getting properly lost). Back at base, this well-kept park has an array of attractive all-weather pitches where you can settle down and relax after days of adventuring. Toilets, showers, disabled facilities, drainage points for tourers and free superfast wifi are all mightily handy to have. The on-site bar is open from 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays when you want to unwind or have a social drink, while fuss-free dinners can be fixed at the traditional inn five minutes' walk down the road. Foxtail Holiday Park also has the plus of being dog-friendly. Need a supermarket, leisure centre or takeaway? Oswestry and Wrexham are both within 15 minutes' drive.

What customers say

Great site, spick and span with roomy, serviced spots. Staff are legend, facilities are top-notch. Pubs and walks nearby are a winner. Road noise is a bummer for some, but most reckon it's sweet. A few ideas: a wash-up sink and more hooks would be grouse.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site (premium, maximum 7 metres)

Liked The pitch was level which is always a good thing and saves time. The site was clean and a bar on site. Open friday and saturday. Pub in walking distance.

Disliked Pitches very close together, road noise was unbearable and kept us awake. Left a day early to try and get sleep before going back to work. Wont be returning.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site (XL, premium)

Liked Very clean and well kept pitch (4), easy access to Reception, toilets and bar. Well maintained facilities, friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked A bit noisy from traffic although this was not unreasonably troublesome. Not much space between pitches, a bit cramped if you want to sit outside your van.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very happy will stay again.

Local attractions

Longing for the outdoor life? Rafters can hire a craft and splash their way down the rapids at Llangollen (15 minutes' drive), a pretty village in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains. Those with courage left to spare can abseil, walk through gorges or clamber over rocks at the place's couple of outdoor activity centres; there's also scope for more relaxing rides aboard a volunteer-run heritage railway and horse-drawn jaunts in a restored barge. The ancient town of Chester (30 minutes) is also close if you're up for a change of scene – with museums, Roman remains and one of the finest zoos in all of England, there's a lot here to please any curious kids you've brought along. Additional hands-on activities can be sorted with a trip to Wrexham's Xplore Science Discovery Centre (15 minutes), where live science demos should put a sparkle in any budding boffin's eye. Other likeable local spots include engineering triumphs such as Chirk Aqueduct (20 minutes' walk) and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (10 minutes' drive) or historic houses like Chirk Castle (10 minutes) and Plas Newydd (15 minutes).
