What customers say

This well-maintained site boasts spacious, clean pitches and immaculate facilities, particularly the individual toilet/shower rooms. Guests praised the peaceful marina location, lovely walks, and the on-site cafe with live music. While generally praised for cleanliness and friendly staff, some found the price high, the cafe limited in hours, and noted a lack of facilities for children or disabled access in some areas. Manager replies indicate ongoing improvements and new facilities.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (premium)

Liked Good facilities, clean and good condition all around the site. The marina, cafe and bar were nice to visit with good food and service. Lots to visit nearby and good access to canal walks.

Disliked Position of the pitches next to the road, lots of noise on site and the road. Nothing for small kids, such as a play area-although we knew this when booking, but would be an improvement.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Beautiful site and area, very clean, toilets and showers clean. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Super sized pitch was great, however because deep gravel my husband who is wheelchair dependent was a no go for him, had to get gravel removed from around caravan door so he could get in, was stressful for him and spoilt our holiday

Disliked Gravel pitches and no grass electric

Recommend to friends Visit again

The pitch was overpriced

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.
