Peaceful and attractive site - pitched in one of the wooded areas which was quiet and felt secluded. Rabbits everywhere - fun to watch especially when night time and lights on! Facilities great as you would expect. Short, delightful walk from site to canal and past the aqueduct. Overall a fantastic location and a peaceful first experience as a ‘motorhomer’! Will stay again.
One of our favourite sites
We stay at LMP quite often. It's a lovely site next to Chirk Castle and a short walk to the Llangollen Canal which takes you to the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct which is a world heritage site. The village of Chirk is 5 minutes walk and had a couple of pubs a Spar & a Coop. I'm not really saying much about the site facilities etc because they're all being refurbished & the site will be closed until September 2022. I hope the Club leave these reviews up so next season people can use them to gauge I'd the site & surrounding area is right for them.
Lady Margaret not at Home!
We are caravanners recently converted to panel van conversion and this was our first proper trip. Still getting used to the different way of operating and this site was ideal. So much to do direct from the site. Cycling on mostly traffic free trails (canal side) and walking. Whilst we didn’t use it on this trip, the rail station is very handy. Peaceful (some people complain about the factory noise but we only noticed that once away from the trees enclosing the site). Be interested to see what happens with the refurb but we’re very likely to be returning.

Lovely Quiet Site - At Present!
Absolutely agree with the previous comment. We love this site just as it is.

So sad!
Lady Margaret's Park is a wonderful site just as it is. Adding camping and glamping will ensure that many folk go no where near it again. So sad.
Good start to tour of Wales.
It is some years since we first visited this site and found it as good as previously. My only gripe is the hardness of the hard standing which was so compacted it was extremely difficult to hammer pegs into. That said we enjoyed our stay walking along the canal towpath to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and visiting Chirk Castle and Erdig, both National Trust properties. There’s a good butchers in Chirk along with a very well stocked Spa supermarket, greengrocers and a couple of pubs, all within an easy walk from the rear of the site.
Can’t comment on the toilets/showers as used our own facilities throughout.
Would happily revisit but might use a grass pitch to avoid the hard labour of pegging out on the hard standings.
Two night stay
Lovely site amongst trees and in a great location. Our pitch was a little dark as under trees. The site is superbly placed on the edge of the Chirk estate and it is a short walk into the estate which is well worth a visit. Easy walking to Chirk town itself and enough shops there for your needs, we walked along the canal and enjoyed the aqueduct and viaduct. We understand that the site is closing at the end of the season for refurbishment. We will stay here again when it reopens
Good adult site
Only stayed one night on route to other sites within Chirk/Ellesmere area. Found it very peaceful, with good facilities and reasonable site fees. Two short dog walking areas on site (not enough for our English Springer Spaniel) but going off site we ventured onto the canal towpath and walked through Chirk tunnel (good experience and one for the 'bucket list' being ticked off (having a couple years back navigated the tunnel on a narrowboat). Short walk into Chirk (downhill) once outside the site, just by Chirk Castle gates (which very impressive and the history of them). Extensive walk available through Chirk Castle grounds but if taking your dog, this has to be on lead, as sheep freely graze. Would definitely return to the site.
Quiet and easy to access
One of the better sites, particularly if you have dogs with several on site walks and loads of places to go literally at the gate including onto the grounds of Chirk Castle (NT Castle but grounds free to access). On site walks include 2 woodland walks but unlike some that get muddy or are too short to be called a walk, these are good with one having a well made bark chip path and the other which is longer and has a natural path but in a slope so drains well. The site itself is nicely laid out with 2 cul-de-sac areas under large pine trees and the main area split into two levels, semi circular and again has large trees between them. It doesn't feel crowded at all and there are loads of service points around the site so never too far to walk with the water/waste. Toilet block a little dated but ok (though we generally now use our own facilities so my comment is based on 1 visit). The access is very easy with no narrow roads to negotiate and you can be back on the main A5 or A483 roads within minutes. Apparently the site is due for an "upgrade" this winter/spring 2021/22 with tent pitches and glamping pods being added as well as toilet block improvements. Hopefully the peacefulness of the site won't be ruined by these changes as I'd hate it to become an overcrowded place which would be a complete contrast to the current feel. Would recommend and will return.
Beautiful location, peaceful and quiet.
Lovely quiet site, a little too quiet for us. Toilet block was "tired" and in need of a facelift, but clean. Plenty of nice walks nearby, and cycling along the canal towpath.
Watch out for the rabbit holes!
