If only there was a place where you could curl up, cocooned in home comforts, yet surrounded by trees and lulled by the sounds of a hillside stream… Well, at Emlyn’s Coppice that’s exactly what’s been created in a small slice of ancient woodland five minutes’ drive from the North Wales coast in rural Flintshire. Arriving at your self-contained glamping pod, you’ll find everything at hand for a relaxing break away from reality. Each pod has an ensuite shower and toilet, kitchen facilities, underfloor heating and a woodburning stove. From the site entrance there’s a glimpse of the coast and two miles away the golden expanse of Talacre Dunes and beach are yours to explore. 10 minutes’ drive away is the seaside town of Prestatyn where you can stock up on all the essentials, treat yourself to fish and chips and blow away the cobwebs on the wide sandy beaches. For those keen to hit the shops in earnest, the historic city of Chester is 40 minutes’ drive away. This is well-known walking country and you can hit the Wales Coast Path a few minutes’ walk from site or connect up with the Offa’s Dyke Path within five miles. Cyclists can start on the Sustrans North Wales Coastal Route right from the driveway, and while away many days exploring the country roads and coastal routes all around. The glorious open-air playground that is Snowdonia National Park – home to Wales’ highest peak – is about an hour’s drive away. Then, when you’re ready to come back to base, light up the firepit (with the first bag of wood on the house) and raise a toast to another day well spent.

Local attractions

The daytrip possibilities accessible from this stretch of the North Wales coast tick all the boxes. Explore the 13th-century castle at Rhuddlan (15 minutes’ drive) and the grand Georgian recreation of a medieval castle at Gwrych (35 minutes) which British TV fans might recognise as the UK home of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Commune with the animals at SeaQuarium in Rhyl (20 minutes) and the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay (35 minutes). Or sit back and take in the spectacular views from the Llandudno Great Orme Tramway (45 minutes) as it climbs 1500m through the Great Orme Country Park and Nature Reserve. If you want to take the adventure up a notch, it’s worth the drive – about an hour – to Zip World Fforest at the edge of Snowdonia or Zip World Penrhyn Quarry. And don’t miss the chance to catch a wave at Surf Snowdonia (50 minutes’ drive), the world’s first inland surf lagoon.
