Pop-up site in Tanyfron with friendly alpacas to meet
A 10-minute drive to Wrexham; 25 minutes to Llangollen
Hammocks and swing chairs to relax in; archery or bushcraft to book

Fancy spending your break among alpacas? Head to the north Wales village of Tanyfron and a stay at Gwenfro Alpacas, where the woolly residents wander freely around, giving guests the fabulous chance to get to know these friendly and characterful animals. The animals are the main attractions here, but you could equally just come to this pop-up site for the peaceful vibe. There are hammocks, swing chairs and outdoor seats to relax in, and you’ll be able to enjoy a campfire or barbecue evening at the tree-lined pitches. The peaceful atmosphere is boosted by keeping the place car free (you’ll unload in the layby about 100 metres from the pitches and then need to move to the free street parking in the village). Families are very welcome here, and kids should be able to find plenty of fun things to do in the woods or at the park next door. If they (or you) need a bit of extra activity, you can ask the site owners to organise shooting, archery or bushcraft skills sessions. All very countryside, right? Yes indeed – but with the added bonus of having a couple of villages within a mile or so to provide shops, pubs, petrol stations and the like. Wrexham is about 10 minutes’ drive away for a bigger collection of amenities, plus an assortment of attractions (including the famed Wrexham AFC, of course).
