Good for families

Pros: great for walkers Cons: access road

Access is easy except the 200 yard link from the road to the site which is badly potholed and could be patched up easily. 24/7 noise from the chipboard factory half a mile away. This noise is a constant sound which doesn’t change so you get used to it quickly and it didn’t disturb us at all. In fact it blanked out other distant noises so in a way the site seemed quiet when you consider how close it is to civilisation. You get occasional smells of chocolate from the chocolate factory half a mile away. Neither the smell nor noise would put us off visiting the site again. Site is in a great location for walkers. The canal is 5 minutes’ walk from the site entrance. The world heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is 3 miles along the towpath: a good half day walk. Llangollen canal starts 100 yards after the aqueduct. The site is on the edge of the National Trust Chirk Castle parkland with miles of walks. The railway station is 5 minutes’ walk from the site (good sized free carpark with through services to Chester, Wrexham, Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Birmingham and some services along the entire North Wales coast to Holyhead). Chirk is an attractive small town about 10 minutes’ walk from the site. This is the sort of site we prefer out of season. We’ll definitely go again. Didn’t use the toilet block.
