  • 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, well-maintained campsite with basic but clean facilities, praised for its excellent value and proximity to the Harrington Arms pub, which offers great food and friendly staff. While many guests enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, convenient location for walks, and welcoming locals, some highlighted road noise as a potential issue for light sleepers, and noted the facilities are functional rather than modern. Issues regarding pitch size and clarity on BBQ use have been addressed by management.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Everyone was friendly and is a good location for short walks. It was clean and facilities were well stocked. The pub was great atmosphere plenty of locals and visitors. Reasonably priced pint although the toilets were basic on the site they were clean and everything worked

Disliked Your pitch is backed on to the A523 so there is road noise pretty often however after half an hour you'll be used to it and forget it's even there

Fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Great views in the morning. Pitches are easily accessed and well set out. Great little stopover.

Disliked The facilities are in a container. They’re very clean but cold.
Main road can be noisy but that can’t be helped given where it is but we slept well.

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.
