Like to get a real taste of your surroundings when you’re on a break? You’ll certainly be able to do that when you stay at Abbey Farm Caravan Park, in the Denbighshire countryside a couple of miles from Llangollen.
In fact, you’ll have two options for a good meal here. The first is to bring your barbecue along and stop in at the site’s farm shop for fresh meat to throw on the grill (and perhaps a milkshake or ice cream while you’re there…). The other is to book a table at the farm's bistro, open Thursday to Sunday for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, coffees and homemade cakes. It’s a pet-friendly place with indoor and outdoor seating, and has a takeaway menu too.
With all that tasty food to try out, it's handy that this site is in an excellent spot for lots of outdoor activities – walks, mountain biking and canoeing are all close by, and there’s a good roster of heritage sites to visit, from the steam railway in Llangollen to the hilltop ruins of medieval Castell Dinas Brân.
There’s heritage right here on site too – the ‘abbey’ of the farm’s name is in fact the ancient ruins of Valle Crusis, well worth a look while you're here. Other aspects of the site are rather more up-to-date – guests have access to a laundry room, washing-up area and chemical disposal point as well as bathrooms with toilets and showers.
Abbey Farm is easily accessible from Liverpool and Manchester (both about an hour away), making it a great choice for an easy escape from city life.

Local attractions
A five minute meander leads either to the rushing River Dee, or to the calm splendour of the canal, where you can admire the horse-drawn narrowboats (you can board one of these boat trips in Llangollen, five minutes’ drive away).
Llangollen is world famous for its Eisteddfod international music festival, but is a lovely place to visit anytime: as well as canal boat trips you can ride on the steam railway, walk to Horseshoe Falls or take a slightly steep walk to Castell Dinas Brân (10 minutes’ drive/50 minutes' walk from the farm).
For mountain bikers and ramblers, Llandegla Forest (15 minutes) is well worth a trip. It’s a privately run site with miles of trails to suit all abilities, plus a visitor centre in a pretty log cabin among the trees, which houses a great café, bike hire, a cycling shop and a workshop for professional repairs.
Gentler days out nearby might include trips to Plas Newydd Historic House & Gardens (five minutes, the 18-arched Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (15 minutes) or National Trust - Chirk Castle (25 minutes).
