Peaceful and scenic, Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park is a prime destination for anyone who adores the countryside.

Visit the marina’s pergola, where there is a licensed café and bar with views across the water, plus picnic areas to help you unwind. Set on a 100-acre plot, guests can also watch the wildlife or take a walk on site or along the nearby towpath. There are also showers and 24-hour laundry facilities. For activities outside of the park, there are many shops, cafés and pubs in the market town of Nantwich, which is a 10-minute drive away. There’s also easy access to the M6 and the B5074 in Church Minshull. Families, couples, small groups and dogs are all welcome at the site.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Very peaceful site with nice walk around the marina.
Facilities were excellent clean and warm set up like a bathroom with shower sink and toilet all in one room.

Disliked Cafe/ bar closes at 4 pm Monday to Thursday 7pm Friday and Saturday so if you want a drink after tea the nearest pub is a mile away but you could not walk the road as there is no foot path and it’s a busy road. Wifi not very good.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The Marina and coffee shop with the singer on, also does nice food.

Disliked Nothing, but if had to be picky then a separate toilet block without showers would be good as sometimes you have to wait in the morning while the showers are full when you just need the toilet.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Site is lovely, really clean and beautiful scenery. Loved the fact that you could pick where you set up in the field. Showers were brilliant.

Disliked We had opted to stay on the non-electric field, being really picky, it could have done with some water points on there.

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 prettiest 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.
