  • Tiny and peaceful family-friendly farm site five miles from Mold
  • Adjacent to Halkyn Mountain; 25 minutes from Chester
  • Landscaped gardens and duck pond; fresh eggs sold on site; pub nearby
From cycling, horse riding or hiking up the Halkyn Mountain to ambling around the traditional market town of Mold and its castle, crack open the North Wales countryside from Pen Y Parc Farm. A 25-minute drive from Chester and 50 minutes from Liverpool, with easy access from the road, it’s easy to mix and match visits to the cities with beach trips, hikes or white water rafting on the river Dee. Pack a picnic and take off to the 2000 acres of common land and ancient hill fort on Halkyn Mountain, just next to the farm… or head towards the coast, where the nearest beach is half an hour’s drive away. On site, admire the scenery from the landscaped gardens, take a little stroll around the lazy duck pond or prop your feet up under the parasol, where there are a table and chairs in the fresh air. Fried, scrambled or poached? There are fresh chicken and ducks eggs sold on the farm (subject to availability). Source more fresh produce at the local farmers’ markets and essentials from the shops in Mold, 10 minutes’ drive away. And if your mind is set on sampling some real ale, there’s a pub five minutes’ drive away and plenty more restaurants and cafés in Mold too.

sharon l.

Primitive grass and gravel tent campsite

Liked We loved the fact there was no pitch restriction, so you felt totally private .. There were other people in the field but with the distance, you didn't know they were there .Fresh eggs every day to buy , beautiful wildlife , very peaceful .

Disliked There was nothing to dislike ? It's very basic camping with only a toilet and wash basin , but we are fine with that

Check what's on nearby.

James E.

Primitive grass and gravel tent campsite

Liked The simple set up. Left alone which is what we wanted. Easy access from A55.

Disliked The Burning Witch festival going on nearby. Sounded like Slipknot were in the adjacent field until 10.45pm which kind of shattered the peace we were looking for, also rusting gas tank and assorted farm implements in field across the way, bit of an eyesore.

Having space to ourselves…

Primitive grass and gravel tent campsite

Liked Really loved the tucked away feeling of this beautiful little place.. the bulls were next to us as we chose the very bottom of the field.. Mel the host was very friendly and lovely to see their farm life! Lots of chickens and ducks 😍.. directions were very easy to follow and the pub was only half a mile to walk to.
My Dad thoroughly enjoyed it too and we will definitely be back to this serene little nook ❤️

Disliked Having to leave to go home

Lovely site with lots of space. Clean toilet. Owners were very accommodating…

Local attractions

Take a trip on the canal at Llangollen (45 minutes' drive). Then, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (40 minutes), the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain with boats going across the top or a nice spot for a leisurely stroll with views. Into a Roman city… Chester (half an hour) is surrounded by city walls and it has much to do, from visiting amphitheatres shopping and eating to a day at the races or visiting the Chester Zoo (half an hour). There are meerkats, flamingos and big cats in the enclosures, plus playgrounds, plants and gardens. Closer to the site, tour lakes, ancient monuments and historic factories around the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park (15 minutes). Perhaps plan ahead and watch a show at the Theatr Clwyd (15 minutes), the largest producing theatre and arts centre in Wales, If you’re willing to go a little further away and you like your days action-packed, Snowdonia National Park (an hour) is also worth a day trip. Here, the activities seem endless. Go mountaineering, aim for the highest summits or try out the mountain biking trails.
