Lady Margaret’s Park CMC Site, Chirk ,Wrexham, LL145AA, Tel 01691777200
To Find Site:- From south on A5 and take B5070 into Chirk. At the War
Memoriam in Chirk turn left
and continue towards Chirk Station. At mini roundabout continue straight
on over Railway Bridge and uphill towards the ornamental gates and turn
left into lane that takes you to site entrance.
This campsite is a member’s only site and is open all year. The site is
quite park like in aspect with many mature trees. Pitches are set out
around roads which are
slightly terraced in arrangement, there are also a couple of wooded
glades with more pitches. In total there are 103 pitches 73 of which are
on hardstandings and the rest grass. Electric points are convenient to
all pitches but on some you will need a full 25 metre cable. The
connections are rated at 16 amps and use blue CEE17 connectors of the
twist and lock variety. Despite TV reception being rated as poor there
is no signal booster system. Also reception using a satellite can be
difficult because of the tree cover. There is one toilet block which is
kept clean but in parts is showing its age. Water and waste service
points are dotted around the site. Unfortunately the motorhome service
point still requires drain covers to be lifted. It is also not very
conveniently situated as because of the site layout it requires two
circuits of the site if you are also leaving! There seems no dedicated
play area for children but there is an open area
near the toilet block which could be used for ball games. There
is site wide WiFi which despite only being classed a bronze standard by
the Club I found it worked reasonably well. I also found the G4 signal
to be acceptable. Reception sells a few essentials and there is a small
information shed. This site has a storage facility.
This site is within easy walking distance, via a path alongside the site
at the entrance, of the Llangollen Canal and the Chirk Aqueduct. From
here you can walk back to the site through the tunnel to explore the
canal in the opposite direction or alternatively walk from the site down
to Chirk Station and join the canal there. The village of Chirk has a
few shops and some pubs/restaurants which are within reasonable walking
distance of the site. There are bus services in Chirk and there is a
limit train service from the station.
