  • Adults-only Cheshire touring pitches on a small site near Nantwich
  • A 40-minute drive to Chester; 10 minutes to Hack Green nuclear bunker
  • Dogs welcome, with plenty of great places to walk nearby
The folk that run The Stables are very fond of their lovely area – so they decided to open up a small touring site that would allow others to come and share the experience of being surrounded by the Cheshire countryside. They’ve kept things very simple here, just installing a couple of hardstanding pitches (each with a grass area too) with access to chemical disposal and a recycling point. (Please note that does mean no toilets or showers provided, so you’ll need to be self-sufficient.) To maintain the peace of the place, it’s an adults-only setup here – but dogs are welcome (a good move, given that there are so many great walks around in the local area). Nantwich is less than 10 minutes’ drive away for a good cluster of places to eat out, but you may well prefer to pick up supplies at the town’s shops instead and get a barbecue going back at base (top tip: try to time your town trip for a time when there’s a market on – either the daily traditional market or the monthly farmers’ market). The small number of guests means there’s plenty of peace to soak up on site – but there are also a good clutch of places to visit nearby (including fishing, antiques shopping and a not-very-secret-anymore nuclear bunker) and you can hit the historic streets of Chester in about 40 minutes for a change of scenery.

Unpowered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Basic campsite in a rural quiet area but still local to pubs shops eta and the price reflects that

Disliked: The only improvement would be a toilet/ shower block, but there may be a good reason why the owners haven’t provided one , it certainly doesn’t detract the sites quality

Quiet, simple stopover with basic facilities at a good price

Ken O. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Quiet location, behind gates. Only 5 pitches on either area (Touring or Motorhome), so not crowded in together; there is plenty of space between pitches. All pitches with EHU (chargeable by coin meter). Fresh water taps available. Waste bins provided. Price is extremely good at £15 per night. Owner, Julie, is lovely and very friendly; lives on site.

Disliked: Black waste disposal drain is surrounded by grass so, as it had been raining (for weeks!), you really needed wellies to reach it. A few paving slabs around it would not go amiss. Nowhere for separate grey waste water dump. If using the Black water drain then you need a long hose from the Moho (c.10M) especially if the pitch next to it is occupied, otherwise you need to decant the grey water into basins/buckets etc and carry them over to the drain. Hence the need for some paving slabs.

Liked: Great location just outside of town. Julie was very welcoming and as the pitches were waterlogged re the bad weather recently, still managed to find us the perfect pitch to stay on. Will definitely be back.

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Nice flat pitch, water available although I didn't use it. There is a public footpath directly opposite although it was too wet to explore very far.

Disliked: Grassy areas were very boggy.

Local attractions

Make sure you’ve got some space left in your tourer, as there’s some good retail therapy going on around here – as well as those markets in Nantwich, you might like to stop by at Dagfields Craft & Antiques or Bridgemere Garden Centre (both 10 minutes’ drive). There are lots of shops in Chester (40 minutes) too, of course – along with some gorgeous black-and-white houses, a medieval cathedral and the only intact set of defensive city walls in the UK. It’s easy enough to make a full day out in the city, but you could tag on a trip to Chester Zoo or Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet too if you like. Staying closer to home, it’s worth seeking out Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker (10 minutes) for a dip into 20th-century military history – and you may also like to book in a gin tour and tasting at Three Wrens Distillery (10 minutes). It’s about the same drive time to Coole Acres Fishery for those who are handy with a rod.
