Entrance to the site

  • Quiet tourer site on a North Wales farm 15 minutes’ drive from Wrexham
  • Pontcysyllte Aqueduct 20 minutes’ drive and Shrewsbury 35 minutes
  • Access to nearly 30 acres of private land with mowed paths; farm shop
Like the sound of days passed on jaunts that span two countries? If the answer is a definite yes, book a spot at Hill Farm, 15 minutes’ drive from Wrexham in North Wales and five minutes from the border with England. From there, it’s a doddle to get to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (20 minutes), or whip into Shropshire for a day exploring historic Shrewsbury (35 minutes). Set on a hill with fabulous woodland and valley views, this peaceful tourer site offers up a handful of grass pitches in a small, secluded paddock and a glorious cottage garden to relax in. If you have kids in tow, they’ll surely love feeding the hens that range freely about the place (just ask the farmer for some grain). The campsite is steps away from a farm shop bursting with tasty local produce, which is open daily from 9am to 7pm – handy if you run out of supplies when making breakfast or supper. Guests also have access to nearly 30 acres of private land with mowed paths, making post-lunch strolls easy. There are convenience stores in Penley (five minutes) and Whitchurch (15 minutes), or you can head into Wrexham for major replenishment of provisions.

What customers say

Lovely peaceful farm stay with friendly owners. Great local produce shop. Animals add charm. Pitches can be uneven, and showers are limited. Some road noise & patchy phone signal, but WiFi near the main building.

Liked Unfortunately my vehicle broke down and I was unable to stay at hill farm …I wanted to write a review as I’ve stayed there before with my grandchildren and it was thoroughly enjoyable and the owners are exceptionally kind when I broke down I gave them a courtesy call and they told me if I phoned at a later date when my vehicle was fixed that I could stay and would not be charged I thought in this situation I would of had to cut my losses but was surprised when they showed such kindness I would definitely recommend hill farm such lovely kind people

Liked Nice campsite with friendly host. Small touches to the campsite are appreciated that I have not seen in other farm run campsites.

Almost level pitches.

Disliked Field is right next to an A road, but it isn't busy.

No wifi available in field B but not an issue.

Liked A really beautiful, peaceful place to stay. The shop was fantastic and really good value for money (you can pay cash or card). Cleanest loos I've ever seen on a campsite (or hotel for that matter). Really friendly owners (and cat). We also received an email with lots of useful information before we set off, which was really helpful (never had anything like that before). We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked We really enjoyed our stay at this campsite last year, so we decided to return again. It’s a lovely, quiet site with lots of space between pitches, which made it feel safe and gave our toddler plenty of room to play.
There was a lovely meadow walk to enjoy, and the owners were wonderful. They were friendly, always asking how we were and taking the time to have a chat.
The campsite was great for children, with tractors to watch, ducks and chickens to feed, a swing, and even a game of bowls to play. The facilities were simple but well kept, with one clean toilet available.
The whole site was beautifully maintained, with lots of flowers and very well-kept gardens. A peaceful and welcoming place to stay.

Unpowered grass motorhome site (adults only, private bathroom amenities)

Liked Daniel and Paul were great hosts. Very friendly. The site is so beautiful and the amenities were clean and tidy. There is a well stocked farm shop on site with fresh local produce.
The private bathroom is really nice. Spotlessly clean and they even provide towels.
Just a warning, I had no phone signal whatsoever. Not that it bothered me at all, but some people need a phone. Was nice to have a break from people.

Disliked Nothing to Dislike

Local attractions

There’s a brace of National Trust-owned sites to look up: Erddig Hall (20 minutes’ drive) is open for guided tours of the stately red-brick manor house and fine formal gardens, while Chirk Castle (25 minutes) is an interesting mash-up of defence fortress and sumptuous 18th-century apartments. There’s more unusual architecture at late-medieval Plas Newydd Historic House (25 minutes), which was remodelled as a half-timbered mansion in the 1930s. A scenic walk across Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (20 minutes) takes in views of Llangollen Canal and the River Dee, or you can see more of the Denbighshire countryside while riding the heritage steam train on Llangollen Railway (25 minutes). Over the border in Blighty, take the kids to watch raptor displays at Shropshire Falconry (25 minutes), or hire a barge for the day at Whixall Marina (20 minutes) to float gently down the Prees Branch of the Llangollen Canal. Another option is to head for Shrewsbury (35 minutes) and have a poke around the red-stone castle and its Shropshire Regimental Museum or take a wander along the River Severn in The Quarry park.
