  • Pub site a 15-minute drive from Macclesfield and the Peak District
  • Biddulph Grange Garden 15 minutes’ drive; Alton Towers 35 minutes
  • Home-cooked pub fare; beer garden with views; children’s playground
Are you keen to test your hiking mettle on some challenging trails, but equally keen on relaxing in the evening with a nice pint of ale and some home-cooked food in the comfort of a traditional pub? You can combine your interests at Four Trees, a family- and dog-friendly site a 15-minute drive down the A523 from Macclesfield. This family- and dog-friendly site with grassy pitches sits next door to the Harrington Arms, a traditional community pub with a children’s playground and a beer garden from where you can admire the surrounding countryside and the hilly landscape of Peak District National Park in the distance. Epic treks await in the Peak District (15 minutes’ drive) – you might not complete the long-distance Pennine Way, for example, but surely even walking a handful of miles through moorlands and limestone dales will give you bragging rights with your mates. After a few days’ trekking, you might like to wind down with a spot of angling at Bosley Reservoir (five minutes), where you might catch pike and perch (be sure to contact the local fishing club for permits). While you wait for the big one to bite, keep your eyes peeled for Canada geese, buzzards and other birds. If you’d rather be on the water than on the shore, Rudyard Lake (15 minutes) has a lively sailing club where you can get a permit to launch your canoe or paddleboard (please note, there is no equipment for hire here). The site comes with a toilet block, showers, and a washing-up area with a drying room, plus chemical waste disposal.

What customers say

This is a small, basic campsite conveniently located next to The Harrington Arms pub, offering good food and a friendly atmosphere. Pitches are generally well-maintained with picnic tables and EHU. Facilities are clean but may be considered dated by some. Road noise from the adjacent A-road is frequently mentioned, particularly during weekdays, though many guests found it manageable, especially at night. The site is well-suited for short stopovers.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Good location with in the pub grounds and access straight into the beer garden.

Disliked Situated on a busy road whilst noisy during the day does get better at night.
I got the feeling there was an expectation we were to book a table to eat in the pub.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, there’s no expectation for you to dine in the pub but we wouldn’t bring doing our job if we didn’t ask and especially the night you came because we were very busy and wanted to make sure campers atleast get the chance to. Thanks

Disliked Over priced food and drinks at the pub
Camping site is next to a busy road so noisy all night

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I disagree with the over priced food and drink you had a 10oz steak at £22 and 10oz gammon for £18 from a very good butcher we arnt a Wetherspoons but campsite please read reviews and look at where the campsite is positioned on the Pitchup advert, it clearly states next to a main A road so during week days it’s at its busiest, please research your stops better to save the slander on a small business. Thanks

Definitely stay here again

Christopher B.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked As a pub stop, it’s fantastic because the pub is right next door! Plus, there’s an electric hookup, fresh water, and a system for disposing of grey water. They also have chemical toilets and a rubbish disposal system.

Disliked The toilet and shower facilities are basic and not very good. The shared area for dishwashing and lounging is also quite run down.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Thoroughly helpful enjoyable stay convenient to other attractions.

Local attractions

National Trust - Biddulph Grange Garden (15 minutes’ drive) was created in the mid-1800s. In addition to peaceful tree-shaded paths, there is a collection of rhododendrons and the colourful Dahlia Walk, plus themed areas like Egypt (with a topiary pyramid) and the China Garden. Alton Towers (35 minutes) has something for everybody, from vertiginous roller coasters and assorted thrill rides to the gentler, family-orientated attractions at CBeebies Land. On hot summer days, you might want to make a beeline for the waterpark, with its high-speed slides and lazy river. Crossed by canals, Stoke-on-Trent (40 minutes) is renowned for its potteries. Check out the collection of locally produced ceramics at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, where you can also admire the Staffordshire Hoard, a collection of gold and silver objects dating back to the Anglo-Saxon era. And be sure to have a go at the pottery wheel in one of several cafés and activity centres in town.
