  • 'Sparkling showers and huge pitches'
  • Set on 10 acres two miles from Alton Towers
  • Spectacular countryside on the edge of the Peak District
To Alton Towers! Staffordshire's popular Lower Micklin Touring Park is just five minutes' drive from the whirls and rides of this most exciting theme park to have the kids most excited; you might need a second day there just to make sure you get round the lot... And Lower Micklin is also at the edge of the Peak District and a few miles from Uttoxeter Racecourse for more Staffs holiday happenings. A public footpath walk leads to Alton village and the local pub is half a mile away by footpath or country lane. (Miles of other walks are all around: just look up at the walls on site when you're doing the washing-up: you'll see what's meant by that when you get there...) Lower Micklin is set in 10 acres of grassland with plenty of space for the kids to run around and a one-kilometre track for big folk to walk or jog. It has new heated shower and toilet facilities with free hot water and a family bathroom with toilet, shower, basin and baby changing unit. The park also has rubbish and recycling facilities, covered washing-up sinks with hot water and – a tad more excitement for the sprogs – a ball field with goal posts and a play area with slide, swings and a climbing wall. For Alton eats, local takeaways deliver to the site, and both Alton and Denston close by have food shops and pubs.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Good morning all
Just had a lovely night at Lower Micklin Farm, Alton Road, Denstone ST14 5DJ
Lovely little site the farmer is very helpful
Pitches are a good size
Facilities Are very clean
Very quiet site but Alton towers is 2 miles up the road and there are several pubs a short walk away or you can get a taxi for £10
You can park a motorhome at Alton towers for the same price as a car by the coaches and mini buses
We would rate this one 10/10

Local attractions

Walks, walks and more walks: the public footpath between Denstone and Alton crosses Lower Micklin Touring Park and there are links to footpaths in all directions and to the Staffordshire Way, 92 miles of trail from Mow Cop Castle to Kinver Edge. The Peak District is a few miles away with many more hikes, or take the Tissington and High Peak bike trails if you're feeling hardy. Other options nearby could include bouldering in the Churnet Valley or trips on the area's two steam railways, the Foxfield Railway and the Churnet Valley Railway; having a close encounter with the animals at Peak Wildlife Park, or visiting historic homes like Chatsworth House and Sudbury Hall with the Museum of Childhood. If you want to leave the car behind (perhaps for a jaunt to the pub?), the taxi firm local to Lower Micklin Touring Park will pick up customers from the site.
