  • 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 farm site. Owners get a thumbs up, as do the views and shop. Peaceful vibe, animal spotting's a bonus. Facilities usually clean, though no showers & patchy phone signal. Some road noise, but not a biggie. Pitches good size, but might need a bit of levelling.

Liked Mostly a lovely stay. Pretty location. Friendly people.

Disliked The chemical disposal was a challenge as i am 5ft 1 and had to grab my foot stool to be able to pour my loo in to the container plus no actual water in place to wash out loo. They did bring a watering can down to facilitate that.

Fresh water was a walk up yhe drive so not easy to fill up. Plus it had a very strong chlorine smell and taste so did not want to drink it.

Wifi not great drops out every 30 seconds. Used my own.

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

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.
