  • 25 minutes' drive from the historic attractions of Chester
  • Within 25 minutes' walk of pubs and eateries
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. It’s a 25-minute amble to the local village, where there are pubs and eateries. There’s a small supermarket 15 minutes’ drive away, but for a truly fab brekkie, the local cafés serve excellent breakfasts. 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.

What customers say

A tidy, welcoming spot with ample, flat pitches and great facilities. Enjoy the scenic surrounds, with Beeston Castle & Tattenhall nearby. Staff are top-notch. Watch out for noise and occasionally cleaner loos.

Peckforton View 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked It was lovely to be welcomed by Tilly the campsite cat! Quiet location and close to many attractions. Lovely clean site. Lots of space for the kids to run around. Tattenhall only 5 minute drive away. We hired a firepit and bought logs on site. Suzanne couldn't have been more helpful. The kids were already planning their next visit before we left!

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

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.
