  • Rural adults-only site five minutes’ drive from Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangollen and Chirk; Offa’s Dyke Path two miles
  • Dog-friendly location 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 and 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 this adults-only site is well within reach of spectacular North Wales sights… Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is an obvious first choice, with its spectacular stone and cast-iron structure with 18 arches; get yourself onboard a narrowboat from Llangollen Wharf. Nearby Llangollen (15 minutes' drive) 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 (bring your own off-ground firepit or hire one upon arrival) are welcome in most areas – 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 nearby. Facilities cover the basics, with bottled spring drinking water and eco soaps, washing-up liquids and shower gels left out for guests to use at the handwashing sink. The portable toilets (including a wheelchair-accessible one) are in the farm complex, along with a cold shower, hot wet-room-style shower (small donations are requested) and phone charging points. Portable chargers are available for an additional fee. Local pubs and shops are within a 10- to 20-minute walk and a larger supermarket is 10 minutes' drive away.

Rob L.

Farm Side power optional grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Beautiful peaceful venue! Very clean and lovely views. Ongoing work to improve the site which is always a plus! Enthusiastic owner and lovely guy! Weather was bad upon arrival but he made everything possible, possible! I will visit again

Disliked Not a dislike but if you want electric you need to be close to the farm buildings. However, speaking to the owner it’s a work in progress.

Leah W.

Chestnut Bank primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked We liked everything from the moment we arrived Dean was their. What a lovely man he is. We had an amazing size pitch well thought of amazing space with u real views and the star glazing night sky. The hot shower is amazing the room is the best space iv ever seen on a camp site. With a small fee of £2 each or £3 for couples. Towel and cloths hanger. It's that big you can get dry properly not sweating. Shower nice and powerful. You can get a cold shower for free if you like. One of my favourite touches was the music that played around this area by the washing up area, toilets and shower. I also like watching the sheep from out side our tent. Dean was around every day and night which iv never seen before which is lovely and more personal. Getting to know your customers is the best service. Dean helped us set up our projector. Got us more wood on are last night as we ran out for our camp fire and this was late, nothing was never to much trouble for him. On our last morning he came to say bye and wish us a safe journey home all this goes along way. We loved it and will definitely be back very soon. Phone signal was great too. Things we done, Welsh Mountain Zoo, Ty Mawr country park, Panorama walk.

Farm Side primitive grass and earth campervan or tent campsite (large)

Liked Owners were very friendly and approachable, making sure we had everything we needed. Pitches were a really nice, with plenty of room for our dog to enjoy her own space. We were even offered a choice of pitches to suit what we needed on arrival. Peaceful surroundings, lots of nice walks and places to visit only a short drive away. Looking forward to see what the future holds for this new site.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked The views from the pitch location (10) across into mid Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 were lovely from our location
Dean, was always around and available. Very nice guy

Disliked Porta loo only option, only two available for the entire site.
Sink is outside for cleaning dishes, this could be a challenge if weather is not great.
Very basic campsite (at the moment), I’m sure it’ll develop over time.

We had a campervan, so pretty self sufficient. We would try it again in the future, to see how Dean is getting on in his vision for the place. Good luck

Location was great for a peaceful stay, not too busy. Short drive to beautiful towns
Nearest shop 0.6miles, pub 1.6miles

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, 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.
