What customers say

This marina campsite offers spacious, well-maintained pitches with excellent, clean, and modern individual toilet/shower facilities. Guests frequently praise the beautiful location, peaceful atmosphere, and the friendly staff, especially at the onsite cafe. The marina setting with narrowboats provides a unique charm. While generally well-regarded, some minor drawbacks mentioned include occasional noise from the working boatyard, limited cafe hours in quieter periods, and the distance to some facilities from certain pitches.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (premium)

Liked Absolutely brilliant stay - marina is beautiful, cafe is stunning (and they do takeouts!), facilities are excellent - what’s not to like?
Chandlery is excellent for supplies too.

Disliked Hard to imagine - maybe find a way of giving the touring pitches a view of the marina 😊

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.
