Main site

  • Small family-run site a mile from Tattenhall
  • 25 minutes' drive from the historic attractions of Chester
  • Fresh free-range eggs; cookery demos, gin tasting, and family picnics
Chosen Cheshire? Then also choose a cheery welcome from the good folks at Pitch and Canvas. This family-run site is a mile from Tattenhall and around a 25-minute drive from the centre of Chester. Pitch and Canvas is in an area of low light pollution, making for some great stargazing at night. The meadow also gets some spectacular sunsets and has views over Cheshire's unmistakable Sandstone Ridge. If you don’t fancy cooking there are handmade pizzas to order, or it’s a 25-minute amble to a classic country pub with classic country fare and a range of local ales, or to a smart restaurant that serves up an ever-changing menu based on its own kitchen garden. There’s a small supermarket 15 minutes’ drive away, but for a truly fab brekkie, you’re strongly encouraged to snaffle some local eggs, bacon and sausages from the site's small shop (and reward your forward planning with an ice cream while you're there). The site also lays on activities for guests, including cookery demos, gin tasting and family picnics (the team can tell you more). The site’s toilet block houses its clean, modern facilities in a snug wooden hut – sinks, showers (including one with a family room to make it easier with children) and toilets all a very short stroll from your pitch.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Clean site with flat pitches with loads of room. Plenty of clean toilets to use, showers were good temperature with good water pressure. It appeared to be a busy weekend but it still felt quiet and that we had our own space. Great visit, we would definitely return.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very spacious pitch. And grass area to play in.
Loved the family shower building. Super handy with little ones.

Disliked: We were the furthest pitch from the shop and toilets. An extra water tap at that end of the site would have been good.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The site was great lovely big field, plenty of distance between each van. Nice clean toilets / shower. Little shop for essentials. Had a great stay plus allowed camp fires which was a nice touch, you can hire fire pits or bring your own thru also sell wood.

Local attractions

If one ever needed a good reason to go out for a country walk, it’s present here in the shape of The Ice Cream Farm, the biggest ice cream-themed adventure park in the world and a half-hour walk away. Hikers should make a beeline for the Sandstone Trail, a 34-mile route starting around a 10-minute drive from the site. You needn’t walk the entire length; pick up a booklet locally for info on shorter sections that take in views of castles, fields and hills before depositing you for a well-earned drink at a pub. If you’d prefer to explore on horseback, there’s a riding centre 10 minutes’ walk from the site that can organise treks for all abilities. For a spot of history, take a trip to one of the nearby castles, such as Beeston Castle (10 minutes), a medieval structure set on top of a cliff, surrounded by a 40-acre woodland park and with some far-reaching views on clear days. Gothic beauty Cholmondley Castle is a little further away at 15 minutes and has nature trails, play areas and a farm shop as well as some gorgeous gardens to wander around.
