  • Dog-friendly wild camping meadows on a working livery farm
  • A 25-minute drive from Llangollen and 40 minutes from Chester
  • Walks, shops, restaurants and pubs in Ellesmere, five minutes’ drive
Wild camping is the specialty at Pentreheylin Park, a pop-up site on a working livery farm with over 30 acres of gorgeous Shropshire countryside. Views of the Welsh mountains? Tick. Excellently placed, with plenty to do? Double tick… Ellsemere’s pretty walks, meres, shops, pubs and restaurants are just five minutes’ drive away from Pentreheylin Park. What’s more, the site is midway between the historic city of Chester (40 minutes’ drive) and the lively town of Shrewsbury (35 minutes), and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Llangollen is just 25 minutes’ drive away too. The most attractive part of this site might be that it’s away from roads, traffic and people. Wildlife loves this spot, and that includes fox and badger sets, hares, rabbits and birds. You might also get a glimpse of peacocks, pigs, sheep and Magic, the site’s miniature horse. Children and well-behaved dogs are welcome. There’s plenty of space for them all, and portable toilet and washing-up facilities shared between the site. Very handily for those who’d like to grill up a good spread, firepits and barbecues are permitted too. Simply follow the signs and park and pitch up wherever you fancy. This is an easy-going, relaxed site with a good vibe and plenty of space. The only rules are that you mustn’t feed the horses under any circumstances (it’s very dangerous for them) and dogs must be kept on leads at all times, and cleared up after.
