First visit - we loved it!
We are quite new to caravanning and have travelled further afield each time we’ve ventured out. We went to Lady Margaret’s by default, as the CL we were going to visit in Anglesey was waterlogged from the recent rain. We weren’t familiar with the area and had never even heard of Chirk, but it seemed to be “our” kind of site - picturesque and quiet - and we weren’t disappointed. The site was fully booked on the day we arrived (Sunday) and remained busy throughout the week, but even so the layout of the site ensured that it never seemed overcrowded. We had to drive round twice to see all the available pitches and find one we liked, but it was worth the effort. We spent the week watching rabbits hopping about in the sunshine. I do think though that when the trees are in full leaf, some of the pitches will be pretty gloomy. The shower block was fine, heated and clean, but could benefit from an update in the next year or two. We toured round the local area - lots to see and do, even with a big dog in tow, including the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llangollen, and the Iron Age Hill Fort at Old Oswestry. We walked to Chirk Castle (dogs allowed in grounds and cafe but not in house or formal gardens) which took about an hour on well signposted footpaths, and also to the Chirk Aqueduct which is about 15 mins from the site. There aren’t really any facilities for children at the site so consequently there weren’t many about and it was pretty quiet. We will certainly return to this pleasant and picturesque site in future.
