  • Dog-friendly shepherd’s hut on a farm 10 minutes’ drive from Knutsford
  • Jodrell Bank UNESCO site 15 minutes’ drive and Chester Zoo 45 minutes
  • Well-equipped kitchen and woodburner; pubs and a shop 15 minutes’ walk
Found on a Cheshire sheep farm 10 minutes’ drive from the buzzy little town of Knutsford, Greenfields Campsite is a top choice for anyone wanting to combine a cosy holiday in a wooden shepherd’s hut with views over the surrounding farmland. Prettily done up with a rural theme, the hut has a well-equipped kitchen (all the basics and more are there), bunk beds for sleeping and a bathroom with shower. Outside there’s covered decking for chilling, watching the sheep (and lambs in spring) in neighbouring fields and admiring the sunset on clear days. The village of Lower Peover (two minutes’ drive/15 minutes’ walk) has a handy shop and two pubs serving excellent food and beers. You can also source picnic treats from the handy village shop in Goostrey (10 minutes). Knutsford is the spot for nosing around trendy boutiques, and it’s got more than its fair share of pubs and cafés if you fancy a night out. Dogs are permitted – in fact, they get their own welcome pack of treats – while kids get complimentary marshmallows to roast over the campfire (logs and firelighters are available to buy on site).

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Spacious site.
Friendly owners. The free marshmallows is a really nice and welcoming gesture.
Fire pits are great and the logs reasonably priced.

Disliked: Would be beneficial if there was a toileting facility on the other side of the field also especially for during the night if camping in a tent.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Flat level pitch, good facilities, fab shower, spacious clean washing up area, marshmallow gift, campfire at each pitch, friendly hosts, no check in/check out times, Albie the Tup nearby who was a hit with our small person!

Disliked: Lots of pitches fairly close together & other guests were loud on the first evening. Quietened down just after 11 so not too bad.

Lisa L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: Layout, fully serviced pitch, campfire setup, wash up facilities, clean shower/toilets.
Great communication from the owners prior to arrival but didn’t get chance to meet them onsite as we arrived after 6pm.

Disliked: We arrived a little too late (just after 6pm) to purchase the wood for the campfire. We did enjoy watching others enjoy theirs though!

The very noisy group next door. Music playing until midnight and repositioned their car to shine lights at their tent leaving the engine running for two hours. Didn’t want to say anything incase it made it worse so popped in the ear plugs and got some sleep.

Our water tap was used by others to fill water pistols and bottles so was a bit of back and forth behind the van whilst we were relaxing after a busy day.

We would probably have enjoyed our stay more if the noisy group weren’t there. We’ve been to previous sites where people either respected the no noise after 10pm request, or the owners/wardens did a walk around to address any issues.
We only stayed for a night so just got on with it!

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: Pitch was fine and welcome was very pleasant

Disliked: Whilst very clean there needs to be more toilet and shower facilities especially given the number of pitches and the site catering for so many tents.

Local attractions

Looking for something different to do? Journey up a hydraulic lift between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal at the Anderton Boat Lift Visitor Centre (20 minutes’ drive), or get up close to the star-gazing Lovell Radio Telescope and enjoy 4D films on the universe in the planetarium at Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement (15 minutes). A 40-minute drive takes you to the walled city of Chester, where you can beat the bookies at a race meeting, explore the Gothic-era cathedral and discover The Rows, half-timbered buildings dating from Tudor times. You might also like to treat the offspring to a day at the zoo (45 minutes), where there are rare rhinos and sun bears to see. You can all test your sense of direction on the orienteering courses in Marbury Country Park (20 minutes), or walk any accompanying dogs through the avenue of ancient lime trees. If you have the odd rainy day to contend with, resort to the indoor swimming pool at Brio Leisure Northwich Memorial Court (15 minutes).
