  • Peaceful, well-maintained and family-run park in a central setting
  • Safe direct access link to the Shropshire Union Canal for strolls
  • Fish at three fishing lakes for a fee; bar/bistro two minutes' stroll
Cheshire countryside, anyone? In a setting that's quite rightly been pointed out as central to pretty much anywhere? Easily sorted when pitching up at Sunny Side Touring Park. Set in green countryside with loads of open space, Sunny Side is central indeed: it's about 20 minutes by car to the Welsh border from here, 45 minutes to Wrexham, 50 to Shrewsbury and Chester, an hour to Alton Towers, and an hour and 15 minutes to both Liverpool and Manchester. And if you're after a peaceful base where you don't want to wander far at all? Also easily sorted, as Sunny Side's Nantwich setting is metres from the Shropshire Union Canal for spectacularly scenic strolls or bike rides along the water. There's also a bar/bistro a couple minutes' stroll away. On site, there are three fishing lakes where guests can fish for an extra cost. They stock up to 40-pound carp and catfish. Sunny Side is family run, and allows only a handful of pitches on site to keep its quiet and relaxed vibe. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed: sort supplies a couple of miles away in the friendly little village of Audlem, where there are restaurants and pubs as well as shops. A handy utilities room on site gives guests access to a washing machine, washing-up sinks, a microwave and a kettle.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (super)

Liked: Friendliness of couple who welcomed us most generously, full information and directions, facilities and local attractions. Loved The Staggered Inn, great host and staff, super friendly 'other campers'..

Disliked: Bathroom facilities.. 2 showers and 2 toilets for too many pitches and it wasn't full! Had to wait both mornings.. Apparently the Gents were disgusting - blocked toilets, no toilet paper and obviously not checked throughout the day... Sunday, I presume is a NO clean day - awful, mud and grass in the showers and not clean toilets and still a shortage of toilet paper!
As a by, the Disabled Toilet does not include a shower! Apparently just a Baby change??!!??

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: As soon as we arrived the lovely receptionist was very helpful, we even got shown where our pitch was. All the staff around were really polite and lovely, even the young lads were great. Very quiet and peaceful stay. Lovely walk down the canal to the pub The Shroppie Fly, reasonably priced. Showers and toilet blocks were very nice and clean throughout our stay.

Disliked: We couldn’t see anything in the cafe/lunch box for anything suitable for Vegans.

Local attractions

The canal and a public footpath alongside are steps from the site. From Nantwich, stroll the couple of miles along the level canal towpath for views over town and the Cheshire countryside, passing the Chester Road viaduct and many moored and cruising narrowboats (to get truly envious, lurk around the marina at Basin End). A couple of pubs at Audlem overlook the canal if/when you require a pitstop. To dive into all things canal and have a natter on the same with knowledgeable types, drop into the Nantwich Canal Centre within 10 minutes' drive. You could also have mightily peaceful potters around the town's shops and wine bars, or the market that runs most days. The leisure centre has an outdoor saltwater pool for dips. Another market town is at Whitchurch, 20 minutes' drive away and two miles from the Welsh border. It's well worth a wander to see its 100+ listed buildings, and to bag foodie supplies from the speciality shops in town: cheese and pork pies are the top picks to hunt down here. From Whitchurch, you can take the train to Manchester, reachable in an hour to the north, or Shrewsbury, half an hour south.
