Brilliant Location and Setting!
This CL is in a great location with easy access to Llangollen via a lovely mile walk along the canal towpath. The setting is wonderful, surrounded by the mountains and overlooked by Castel Dinas Bran on the hilltop above Llangollen. Although the road to the Horseshoe Pass runs adjacent to the site, we weren't really disturbed by the traffic at night, though wouldn't know what it was like during the day as we were out and about most of the time! The only thing we could hear in the early morning were the sounds of the sheep which doesn't bother us anyway. The pitches are fine, though we did need to level the caravan up a bit and we were a bit cramped on our pitch as we have an awning so would ask for a different pitch in future. There are a lot of greenhouses, plants in pots etc, but it is a plant nursery and didn't really bother us as we expect basic facilities in CLs as the advantages of cost, tranquillity etc far outweigh the disadvantages. Michael and Joan were really friendly and helpful, and even though Michael was really busy hosting a local church barbeque on one of the days we stayed, he still found time to chat to us and even took our grandchildren, who were visiting us, on a train ride around the site on his narrow guage railway, which is absolutely brilliant! We had a lovely meal at the Chain Bridge Hotel, which is on the towpath in the opposite direction to Llangollen, or you can get to it if you turn right from the caravan site and walk a short distance up the road. This is in a lovely setting and the kids loved walking along the wobbly bridge! All in all we had a wonderful break at Abbey Nurseries and wouldn't hesitate in staying again in the near future.
