On a clear day the views extend as far as the Wirral, Denbigh Moors, and Snowdonia.

Quiet campsite on a farm. Owner allows bikes and is welcoming and can lock them in their farm barn. Local community shop is a 15 minute walk, nearby pub is a 5 minute walk and is open again. A great place to stay

The River Dee was the traditional boundary of the Kingdom of Gwynedd in Wales for centuries, possibly since its founding in the 5th century. It was recorded in the 13th century (in mainstream Middle English orthography, lacking the letters v and w) as flumen Dubr Duiu; the name appears to derive from the Brythonic dēvā: "River of the Goddess" or "Holy River". The river is personified as the war and fate goddess Aerfen. The river name inspired the name of Roman fortress Deva Victrix. It is the only river in the UK to be subject to a Water Protection Zone along its whole length down to Chester weir. It is a wonderful place for a stop, absolutely stunning
