  • 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.

Clean, well-kept site with friendly staff. Guests love the spacious pitches and great facilities, including modern showers. Bar and canal walks are a bonus. Some mention nearby road noise, but most find it manageable and highly recommend.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (premium, maximum 7 metres)

Liked Shower and toilet facilities absolutely faultless, clean, spacious, accessible and well maintained, huge pitches with EHU & water, great WiFi. Great location for walking the canal walk ways and aqueducts, easy walk to chirk castle. A couple of pubs nearby which are easily walkable. Close to fuel station with simply food (cross busy roundabout), and garden centre next door with cafe

Disliked Traffic noise, this did not impact our enjoyment

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).
