- On-site café; watch the equestrian competitions for free
Here’s a tempting offer for the horse lovers among you… a stay at Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre gives you the chance to see top-level equestrian competitions and training sessions without even having to leave the site.
This quiet site is part of the Organsdale Farm estate in the Cheshire countryside, just over a mile from Kelsall village and about 10 minutes’ drive from Tarporley. You’ll be staying on a working dairy farm, so you’ll be able to see the resident Brown Swiss cows while you’re here – but the highlight for most visitors is the equestrian arena, which plays host to a busy schedule of showjumping, dressage and eventing sessions on several days a week throughout the year. Entry to watch any/all of these is included in the price of your stay.
At times when you’re not watching the horses do their thing, you can easily get out for walks, from a short stroll through the neighbouring Primrose Wood to a longer walk through Delamere Forest, about 10 minutes’ drive away. For other outings, Chester is close by and there are plenty of outdoor options including golf courses and a Go Ape course.
Back on site, the dog-friendly pitches have access to all the essential amenities, including toilets, showers and wifi. The centre also has a welcoming café that’s open from 9am to 5pm serving up breakfasts, lunches, cakes and takeaway snacks, plus local ice cream to help keep you cool on warm days.

Local attractions
Start exploring your surroundings by walking direct from the farm, perhaps following one of the trails through adjacent Primrose Wood or climbing up Old Pale Hill (about two hours to the top and back). Other walks take you to ‘Little Switzerland’ or Eddisbury Hill Fort, and the long-distance Sandstone Trail passes through the farm’s land.
Delamere Forest (10 minutes’ drive) is another good place for a walk, and it’s also got cycle trails, segway hire and a Go Ape adventure park for the daredevils. Forestry England also stages a number of ‘Forest Live’ concerts here in the summer, with major names headlining.
If you fancy leaving the rural pursuits behind for a while, take a trip to Chester (20 minutes) to see the cathedral, the historic city walls and the classic black and white buildings of Chester Rows. Chester Zoo is another popular attraction, and there’s often the option of seeing more equestrian events at Chester Racecourse.
