  • Peaceful park at a marina in the centre of the Cheshire canal network
  • Set in over 100 acres of countryside 10 minutes' drive from Nantwich
  • Café and picnic areas; access to walks along the towpath
Peaceful and scenic, Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park is a prime destination for anyone who adores the countryside. Based on the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal in Church Minshull, the Cheshire park also has a great set of marina facilities. It's set in 100 acres, so guests can watch the wildlife or take a walk along the towpath. Afterwards, you might fancy a visit to the marina’s licensed café and picnic areas to unwind or rest your feet. If you fancy getting out on the water too, boat hire is available on site. Families, couples, small groups and dogs are all welcome on the site. For activities outside of the park, there are many shops, cafés and pubs in the market town Nantwich, which is a five-mile drive away. There’s also easy access to the M6 and the B5074 in Church Minshull. The amenities at Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park are nice and convenient too: they include well-maintained bathroom facilities with toilets, showers and sinks, as well as accessible features for guests with mobility challenges. The site also has 24-hour laundry facilities.

What customers say

This well-maintained marina site offers spacious, level pitches and clean facilities, with a pleasant cafe and lovely canal walks. However, some guests found the facilities too distant, Wi-Fi unreliable, and prices high, with a lack of on-site shops or children's play areas.

Jonathan s.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely site, clean, tidy and well maintained. Showers and toilets are modern, clean and well maintained with heating and hot showers in each shower room. Hottest weekend of the year and quite busy but didn’t have to wait to use the facilities. Love music on the Saturday was nice. Activities on offer.

Disliked Only negatives we had really was that the convenience shop wasn’t open a great deal, could’ve done with somewhere to buy some fresh meats, essentials and some ice creams.and we didn’t stay long at the cafe/bar as the wasps were out in force (don’t think they can do much about them!)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the clean facilities, live music, and activities—especially during such a busy weekend. Our chandlery/Shop, where you can buy essentials is open from 8am-5pm every day apart from Sundays which is 9am-5pm. As for the wasps, we wish we could control them too! Hope to welcome you back again soon.

Bell tent (four person)

Liked Great site, lots of space, clean and well set out. We stayed in the Bell Tent, family of 4. It was fabulous, really spacious and comfy with bedding and towels provided. Cafe was nice too with excellent live music in the afternoon.

Disliked Only negative is not enough toilet / shower blocks. Only 8 shared by the entire campsite and quite a walk away from the Bell Tents.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the live music—it’s always a highlight for many guests. We appreciate your comments about the toilet and shower facilities and will take that into consideration as we plan future improvements. Hope to welcome you back soon!

A really pleasant stay on a very well run site.

Elliott S.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Loved the marina. Very pleasant scenery. All areas clean and well maintained. Liked the field better than the hard standing pitches. Clean toilets/shower cubicles liked the fact that the shower was in the same room as the toilet and you don’t have to go from one to the other. Also liked the fact that the facilities block is heated.

Disliked Nothing really to dislike other than it would have been nice if the cafe/bar closed later.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the marina, clean facilities, and peaceful setting. We appreciate the feedback about the café/bar hours and will keep it in mind. Hope to see you again soon!

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the most picturesque track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
