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. 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 Lovely pitch location for our roof tent. Excellent toilet facilities, like having your own private bathroom. Beautiful location and all done to a very high standard.

Disliked Was surprised to have not been told about the road closure at the bottom of the entrance and then had to do a 20 minute detour around the road blocks🙈to get to the other side.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Spacious field with lots of room to pitch your tent and the car next to it for ease of access. There was also a nice walking trail along the canal and the marina. The facilities on site were really good the bathroom combination with the toilet and the shower made it really easy to use. They were very clean and you could tell they were cleaned several times throughout the day. The cafe onsite was also nice and had tables to sit out.

Disliked If you need any extras the shop was a little pricey but good if you have forgotten anything vital. Nantwich is only a short drive away though.

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.
