What a beautiful site
We visited Chirk during a rare heatwave and how beautiful did the site look in bright sunshine, and the dappled shade given by the many tall trees was a welcome relief. The wardens are very welcoming and helpful, and keep a very tidy and pretty site. The very many bunnies hopping out from the woods help with maintaining the grassy areas. The pitches are very spacious and level. For the first time ever we had no need to use our levellers. The peace of the site is a little spoiled by the relentless 24 hour drone of the nearby Cadbury factory, plus the sweet smell that sometimes pervades the air, but if you can ‘tune out’ it isn’t a problem. The only other noise is human, ill-disciplined yapping/barking dogs (same as on all sites), crows, other birds, and owls. The facilities are a little dated, but clean and well maintained. The water pressure is dire and so showering was a lengthy process as was filling water containers. We found TV reception to be excellent. From time to time our mobile reception dropped out. The site is well placed to visit National Trust’s Chirk Castle - an uphill stroll through lovely grounds, with sheep roaming freely. Also within strolling distance is the Llangollen canal with its many canal boats. We loved our stay here, and will be back. For us, it was perfect, and seen in the most beautiful sunshine.
