- Direct access to footpaths; bordered by the Trent and Mersey canal
There's certainly ample space for family stays at Shirleywich Farm Holidays, where seven out of the site's 17 acres have been turned over to folks looking to pitch up – that's about 41% of the total, or just over five football pitches if sporting analogies speak to you more than figures do. Whichever way you run the numbers, this easily accessed site equals one stonkingly good spot for varied Staffordshire stints.
Shirleywich Farm Holidays is a secure site, accessed via a lockable gate, and is just off the A51. These grounds are kept in tiptop shape by the site crew, who ensure the hedgerows are neat and the field in good condition. Also around are five old barns and a handsome farmhouse dating back to the 1600s. Pets large (horses) and less large (dogs) are welcome here, with lots of bridleways and pup-friendly paths on hand in the nearby Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The facilities here are on the low-key end of the spectrum: there's a gravel amenities area with a portaloo, toiletry supplies and a chemical disposal point.
Bring bikes, canoes and fishing rods along to Shirleywich Farm Holidays – the adjacent Trent and Mersey canal towpath and the river Trent, a few metres further away, should sort you out with bags of opportunities to put all three to use. Heading south along the water's edge, you'll soon reach Great Haywood, a village a couple of miles downstream where there's an independent café and small supermarket (five minutes' drive).

Local attractions
Shuffle off to the National Trust-run Shugborough Estate (10 minutes' drive), a colonnaded stately home on the edge of Cannock Chase. The gardens here have fab 18th-century features to stroll in, while the kids will find plenty of curiosities if they check out the well-preserved servants' quarters. More local history is up for perusing at nearby Stafford Castle (20 minutes).
Got a head for heights? There are three high-altitude options hereabouts, the first two of which are rather countrified affairs – sailing through the sky on a hot air balloon tour (15 minutes) or climbing up to the top of the forest canopy at Go Ape Cannock (20 minutes). You might want to keep the third option on the list, Alton Towers (30 minutes), up your sleeve as a way of encouraging the young ones to stay as good as gold…
Haven't got a horse but still like the look of life in the saddle? Find yourself a mount at Cannock Chase Trekking Centre (15 minutes).
