An autumn day on site

  • Peaceful farm site with stunning views of the Clwydian Range
  • A 20-minute drive from Moel Famau; just under an hour from the coast
  • Well-equipped shared kitchen, plus firepits and chimineas to hire
Peaceful? Scenic? Very much so. This Denbighshire site is a place to settle down at for both, with added views out over the Clwydian Range Area of Natural Beauty. The vibe is decidedly rural at Clwydian Holidays, a relaxed and spacious site 15 minutes’ drive from Ruthin – as you might expect from a site on a family-run working farm. Days can be easily filled with walks, mountain bike outings, watersports, fishing and other such outdoorsy antics, while evenings on site are a prime time to light up a barbecue or cuddle up by a firepit or chiminea (both available to hire on site) while aiming your gaze up at the starry skies (fingers crossed for cloudless nights…) At times when it’s not barbecue weather (it’s Wales, it can happen…), retreat to the custom-built kitchen, which has been kitted out with an oven, hob, fridge, toaster and kettle, plus a dining table for indoor eats. Also on site are plenty of open space for kids to run about and play games, plus a toilet block with three showers and a wash basin area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was beautifully situated, great views of the hills and you can see Moel Famau in the distance.
We were greeted by the host Raymond who I have to say made you feel very welcome. He showed us the facilities and was good to chat too.
The toilets were spotless and fresh and well equipped. Kitchen the same. They even have a village hall with plenty of board games and seating.
Really enjoyed the stay, packing up to leave Raymond came to say Hello and told us there was no rush which was really nice. 100% will be back in the near future.

Disliked: Not the sites fault but zero signal on o2. Luckily my daughter was on EE, so I topped her up and we were able to make calls, use the Internet no problem.

Liked: Brilliant hosts, fantastic location, spot on accommodation!

Everything is well thought out and the two hosts were very nice and approachable (had a good chat with them a couple times!) nothing is to much trouble for them. Everything there required to have a good break away.

Facilities were immaculate and all in good order, I stayed in a pod that was spotless and well equipped!

Very secure so no issues leaving my motorbike out over night which was nice too.

Was that good I extended my stay for an extra night and will certainly be back in the near future!

Disliked: Nothing!

Camping pod

Liked: Lovely location, plenty of space and just 4 pods. On site facilities clean and tidy and while we were blessed with good weather there was a useful shared space to use if the weather had been poor. The site was fairly close to local places and while staying we visited Bala, Llangollen and the Horseshoe Pass all within a 30 min drive.

Local attractions

It’s a fair guess to assume you’ve come to this part of the world to get your fill of fresh air… so start your sojourn with a stroll in the Clwydian Range AONB, which surrounds the site, or set off for the Snowdonia National Park (half an hour away by car). Should you wish to scale Snowdon, it’ll take you an hour or so to drive to one of the starting points. More excited by the mountain biking option? Make off to Moel Famau (20 minutes’ drive), the Llandegla Forest (half an hour) or Coed y Brenin Forest Park (an hour). Llyn Brenig (35 minutes) is a fab spot for fishing, and there’s wilder water to tackle with rafting and gorge walking trips from Llangollen (half an hour). Rather just view the waters? Take a scenic trip on the Bala Lake Railway (40 minutes). If your Wales trip isn’t complete without a castle and a beach, those can be sorted with an outing to grand medieval pile Chirk Castle (40 minutes) and the sandy beach at Talacre (55 minutes). Llandudno, a bit further along the coast (an hour’s drive from the farm) is another fab spot for a beach day – ride the cable car up to the top of the Great Orme headland, then paddle in the sea or bimble around Bodnant Gardens, a couple of miles outside town.
