  • Peaceful, rural site five minutes’ drive from Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangollen and Chirk; Offa’s Dyke Path two miles
  • Dog-friendly, with discounted access to secure dog fields
You might have a hard time tearing yourself away from this peaceful countryside site surrounded by green hills, trickling brooks and wide-open spaces. At least, that's until you hear that Plas Issa Farm is also only a five-minute drive from the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It may be based on an off-grid working farm, but it’s well within reach of spectacular North Wales sights… Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is an obvious first choice, with its spectacular stone and cast-iron structure complete with 18 arches; get yourself onboard a narrowboat from Llangollen Wharf. Set within 15 minutes' drive of the site, Llangollen also has a steam railway and countless adorable cafés. Plas Issa Farm is between the villages of Penycae and Acrefair, a 15-minute drive from Wrexham and Chirk, and within a short drive of the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape. There are plenty of walks in the immediate area that guests can get out onto, including a public footpath from the farm itself and the Offa’s Dyke Path around two miles away. Adventures aside, it should be easy to embrace a slower pace on site. Firepits (off-ground or in firebowls) are very welcome – good news for those who want to try stargazing – and there’s plenty of space to unwind around the large paddocks. Well-behaved dogs are welcome; the site has discounted access to secure dog fields, and barns can be hired for dog agility. Barn hire is also available for large groups who want access to a dry bar, sound system and projector screen. Facilities cover the basics: a water tap, bottled spring water for drinking and a portable toilet in the farm complex. Local pubs and shops are within a 10- to 20-minute walk, and if you need to visit a larger supermarket, there's one 10 minutes' drive away.

Local attractions

Don’t be too surprised if you keep on returning to Llangollen (15 minutes’ drive). As well as being the departure point for narrowboat rides along the Llangollen Canal, it has a steam railway heritage line and the Plas Newydd Historic House & Gardens Llangollen (15 minutes), a 14th-century Victorian country house remodelled in the 1930s. Set on a hilltop above Llangollen, Castell Dinas Brân (15 minutes) is another reason to keep returning. The medieval castle has quite the scenery, but first, you’ll need to walk uphill from Llangollen. Treat it as your warm-up for a bigger hike at World’s End (half an hour). Chirk has another stunning aqueduct, the Chirk Aqueduct & Viaduct (15 minutes). Chirk Castle (15 minutes), managed by the National Trust, is also in the area; its 480 acres of working parkland, 13th-century Marcher castle and café should easily occupy you for a morning.
