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.

Shop on site
Close to Tattenhall Village
Marina & Ice Cream factory
Will definitely return to this site

Disliked: Due to recent rain there was some flooding.
Suggestion - 1- children climbing frame, play area would be nice.
2- Turning area at the end of the gravel path to encourage cars & caravans to stay off the water logged grass.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay.
We designed the layout to enable children to be able to enjoy the space and so glad you like it - it's lovely to watch them play rounders or football when they've all made friends.
The weather had not been kind and following United Utilities damaging our field drains the water had no where to go. Apologies for this and all being well they are repairing the damage this week and should be back to normal.
We would love to welcome you back to stay in the future, please do get in touch anytime and we will be happy to help.

From all the Pitch & Canvas Team.

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.
