Main site (added by manager 23 jun 2020)

Small family-run site a mile from Tattenhall
25 minutes' drive from the historic attractions of Chester
Fresh free-range eggs; cookery demos, gin tasting, and family picnics

Chosen Cheshire? Then also choose a cheery welcome from the good folks at Pitch and Canvas. This family-run site is a mile from Tattenhall and around a 25-minute drive from the centre of Chester. Pitch and Canvas is in an area of low light pollution, making for some great stargazing at night. The meadow also gets some spectacular sunsets and has views over Cheshire's unmistakable Sandstone Ridge. If you don’t fancy cooking there are handmade pizzas to order, or it’s a 25-minute amble to a classic country pub with classic country fare and a range of local ales, or to a smart restaurant that serves up an ever-changing menu based on its own kitchen garden. There’s a small supermarket 15 minutes’ drive away, but for a truly fab brekkie, you’re strongly encouraged to snaffle some local eggs, bacon and sausages from the site's small shop (and reward your forward planning with an ice cream while you're there). The site also lays on activities for guests, including cookery demos, gin tasting and family picnics (the team can tell you more). The site’s toilet block houses its clean, modern facilities in a snug wooden hut – sinks, showers (including one with a family room to make it easier with children) and toilets all a very short stroll from your pitch.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Facilities were very clean and had everything required. The pitch was a great size and the ground was flat and clear. Convenient location and easy to find and get to.

Disliked: Some of the pitches are quite close to the road so can get some loud noise. Not too bad if you’re used to hearing traffic. Also not a busy road at night.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Hosts were lovely, very helpful, little shop with basics. Very nice well run site

Disliked: Toilets and showers not cleaned enough. Some foul people leaving hair clumps and dirt in showers, one shower flooded, despite cleaning stuff provided. No toilet roll in one toilet. Need to be checked more frequently.

Liked: Lovely campsite neat and tidy, toilet block was just missing the mark slightly, could leave a mop and bucket for campers to mop after use like other sites. The pitch sizes were great, was a lovey short weekend.

Local attractions

If one ever needed a good reason to go out for a country walk, it’s present here in the shape of The Ice Cream Farm, the biggest ice cream-themed adventure park in the world and a half-hour walk away. Hikers should make a beeline for the Sandstone Trail, a 34-mile route starting around a 10-minute drive from the site. You needn’t walk the entire length; pick up a booklet locally for info on shorter sections that take in views of castles, fields and hills before depositing you for a well-earned drink at a pub. If you’d prefer to explore on horseback, there’s a riding centre 10 minutes’ walk from the site that can organise treks for all abilities. For a spot of history, take a trip to one of the nearby castles, such as Beeston Castle (10 minutes), a medieval structure set on top of a cliff, surrounded by a 40-acre woodland park and with some far-reaching views on clear days. Gothic beauty Cholmondley Castle is a little further away at 15 minutes and has nature trails, play areas and a farm shop as well as some gorgeous gardens to wander around.
