Main site

  • 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.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely pitch with some nice walks local and easy access to Chester, relaxed vibe across the site, music, fire pits, all allowed and very dog inclusive (not just dog friendly)

Disliked The facilities were relatively clean but could be improved and would be good if there was a shelf for toiletry bags ect. The cockerel in the morning was also excellent at keeping us up from dawn (on electric tent pitches (EP)

The whole site was brilliant. We were there for our annual family…

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked The whole site was brilliant. We were there for our annual family camping weekend and we loved it. Lovely welcome on arrival. They were happy to accommodate us all together as we were tents and a camper with electric hookup req with no problem at all. Site was immaculate and plenty of room for children to play cricket football etc. At 1 point 3 different groups were playing separately and still loads of room. Fab relaxed feel and 10.30 quiet time worked brilliantly. Perfect family site thankyou.

Disliked Nothing

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked The location was great, Drew and the team really are fantastic and the onsite shop is so well stocked! The space between pitches is good.

Disliked Sadly a large group were present during our stay we counted 24 at one point with lots of children running around the site and music playing until 10:30pm. We even had kids messing with our tent at one point. Children were having water pistol fights and filling up their guns in the toilet block making the floor seriously slippy. Don’t blame drew and the team, just the ignorance of the group of campers.

Jez H.

Acorn camping pod

Liked Attractive well managed site with helpful staff. Good toilet facilities and a small shop on site. Felt roomy and in lovely countryside. Enjoyed seeing the swifts and bats out on the camping field catching the flies. Convenient for a visit to Chester or nearby Beeston castle. Liked having a firepit. Liked our camping pod with comfortable camp beds, kettle etc

Disliked Maybe another chair to go with the outside table would be nice.

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.
