- Well-maintained adults-only site on a rural Cheshire farm
- A 35-minute drive to Chester, and 15 minutes to Cholmondeley Castle
- Access to walking trails, including Sandstone Trail
If you’re looking for a chilled-out break combined with a real taste of country life, take a look at The Happy Pheasant Caravan Park and Campsite, an adults-only site on a 37-acre arable farm in Cheshire. Rural relaxation, uninterrupted vistas over your peaceful surroundings and the sight of horses grazing in neighbouring fields are the order of the day – there’s little to disturb you here apart from birdsong…
When the weather is fine, you’ll want to make the most of the spectacular sunsets that light up the Cheshire countryside, so feel free to bring a barbecue along to provide alfresco dinners while you gaze skywards at the end of the day. If you need to source supplies, it’s a five-minute drive to the village of Malpas, where you can stock up on essentials for the grill at handy local stores.
If you go off the idea of self-catering, that’s no problem either, as you’ll come across several takeaways and top-notch hostelries in the village.
Need to work up an appetite for whatever meal you're planning? There are plenty of walks accessed directly from the site, including the Bickerton Hills and Sandstone Circular, leading to the ruins of Maiden Castle. Alternatively you may like to choose days out in Chester or checking out the area's many lovely castles and stately homes.
Back at base there are several handy facilities provided, including toilets, tourer storage facilities, chemical disposal and recycling points.

When travelling to the site, avoid Love Lane as it is not suitable for vehicles. The campsite is on Overton Heath Lane – depending on your satnav, it maybe better to use postcode SY14 7DF as this leads to the top of the lane.
Local attractions
Chester (35 minutes’ drive) is a hub for day trips; you can take leisurely cruises along the Dee river, or meet the animals at Chester Zoo. Add a bit of culture into the mix with Roman history at the amphitheatre, or amble the city walls. Feeling lucky? Take a trip to Chester Racecourse (both 40 minutes) and have a flutter on the horses – and if you’re not that into betting, treat yourselves to a cream tea instead.
This being Welsh border country, there are plenty of castles in the vicinity: check out imposing Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (15 minutes) or the medieval ruins at Beeston Castle (20 minutes) for spires, moats and turrets galore.
Curious to explore further over the border? Attractions include Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the high-rise bridge across the Llangollen Canal – you can cross it on foot, by bike or in a narrow boat. National Trust-owned Chirk Castle (both 40 minutes) has gorgeous gardens and lots of art treasure to potter around, and Erddig House (35 minutes, also National Trust) has displays in old kitchens giving a glimpse “below stairs” in Victorian times.
