  • Peaceful family-run site on a working farm in Denbighshire
  • A 15-minute walk from the pub, shops and places to visit in Rhuddlan
  • Views of the Clwydian Range; a 10-minute drive from beaches
Birds singing, lambs baaing, cows mooing… it’s all about the wake-up calls at Abbey Farm Caravan and Camping, and it’s likely that even reluctant early risers will be keen to get up and about once those rural sounds start up. At this peaceful farm in the Denbighshire countryside, you’ll get a warm welcome from Rob and Celia, their children Lewis and Owen and friendly sheepdogs Buster and Jess. Take a stroll around and you’ll often spot free-range chickens wandering about the place too – they’re the ones that provide freshly laid eggs for sale each day. Surrounded by cows and sheep grazing, plus lovely views of the Clwydian Range, the site has a bit of history behind it, too: the farm’s location was once a Dominican friary, and you can still see remnants of that past in the abbey buildings. (Not often you get to stay at a field that’s part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, right?) It’s the kind of place where families and couples can kick back and relax with simple facilities on hand, including three bathroom blocks (for toilets and showers), plus a utility area for washing-up, complete with a communal fridge and freezer. Getting out to handy amenities is straightforward: it’s about a 10-minute walk to the lovely village of Rhuddlan for cafés, pubs and shops – plus a castle (this is Wales, after all). Days out should also be easy enough, as there are main roads nearby, but you’ll face a choice: up to the coast for a beach day (10 minutes’ drive), or over to Snowdonia for hikes and other outdoor activities (40 minutes)?

Robert R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: My wife and I arrived and were cheerfully greeted by Celia and her family and shown to a pitch that we were allowed to choose.
We had some trouble getting our caravan into position and Celia`s husband and young son helped us out.
Throughout our 3 week stay on the farm the friendliness and helpfullness was always there.
This family always seemed to be busy with farming matters or improving ammenities for the campers. I don`t think we have ever come accross such a hard working family.
The showers and toilet were kept spotless.
The area around the site has many shops and is on some good local bus routes.
My wife and I would like to thank them for making our stay very pleasant and would recommend this site to anyone.

Local attractions

A stately home built in the 17th century, Bodrhyddan Hall (five minutes’ drive) is known for its gardens, which include manicured lawns and paths snaking through dense woodland. After a guided tour of the interior (which takes you past artworks, period furniture and an Egyptian mummy), you can stop for refreshments in the tea room. With its wide sandy beach and miniature railway, Rhyl (10 minutes) is a top destination for families. If the weather takes a turn for the worst, you can head to SC2 Rhyl, with an indoor waterpark, a ninja assault course and a soft-play area for younger kids, or to the SeaQuarium. Snow leopards, lemurs and brown bears are just some of the animals at Welsh Mountain Zoo (15 minutes), which spreads over 37 acres near Colwyn Bay. Other residents include exotic birds, reptiles and the furry and feathered guests at the Children’s Farm (rabbits, guinea pigs and ducks, among others). The park also has colourful gardens and woodland walks.
