Astbury Motorhome Campsite

Peaceful site in a rural village with views of Mow Cop folly
Next to a golf course and less than a 35-minute walk from Congleton
Pubs within a 15-minute stroll; Stoke-on-Trent a 25-minute drive

Get out on the green with ease – or have yourself a swish time just taking in views of the surrounding scenery – from Astbury Motorhome Campsite, next to Astbury Golf Club and looking out onto the National Heritage-listed Mow Cop folly. Whether you'll be honing that swing or visiting Mow Cop (less than a 10-minute drive away), this is a motorhome park where you can ditch the wheels for a couple of days and work those legs instead. It’s a 35-minute walk from here to the Cheshire town of Congleton and even less of a wander to nearby pubs and restaurants (including the one at the golf club for a celebratory meal after a win). If you’ll be cooking for yourself on a spacious pitch among the tree-lined surrounds of the park as well, get local produce from Congleton Garden Centre a five-minute stroll away or at the Glebe Farm shop (less than 25 minutes on foot); you can cue up directions on your phone by using the wifi at the site office. Also accessible less than a 40-minute walk away is Astbury Mere for wandering the wildflower meadows or sailing and canoeing on the water. Back at base, electric hookups are available on each pitch (please note that the site is restricted to a single-phase 13-amp circuit which is not suitable for electric kettles or toasters). There's also access to a grey waste dump, toilet disposal and fresh water. Gas barbecues are allowed on site, but not charcoal ones or firepits (and none on the grass areas, thanks). Freedom Camping Club membership is given for free on arrival. Please note that the site has no toilets or showers.

Local attractions

This is indeed a niftily located site, whether you’re interested in having a sedate gander at the moated half-timbered manor of Little Moreton Hall (under 10 minutes’ drive) or giddily taking on the rides at the theme parks of Alton Towers (40 minutes) and Waterworld (25 minutes). Art aficionado? The central England city of Stoke-on-Trent can be swiftly reached too in about 25 minutes for the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery displays in this destination famed for its finely crafted wares (plus it has a WWII Spitfire if you’re not that swayed by ceramics…). And if you can‘t get enough of handmade objects, the Gladstone Pottery Museum (30 minutes) in an old Victorian factory is worth a punt too. Got your sights set on northern city trips while you’re at this well-located park? Manchester is an hour and 10 minutes’ drive, while Liverpool is an hour and 20 minutes.
