Se are a new campsite just starting up so it is quite
A 10-minute drive from Bettisfield Park and 40 minutes from Chester
Picnic tables; barbecues allowed; canalside walk and pub nearby

From family-friendly adventure parks to Tudor country estates and ice cream farms, you’ll be able to craft out a cheerful itinerary from the canalside at Hotel Farm. This dog-friendly site is in the village of Grindley Brook alongside the Shropshire Union Canal, so when you’re not too busy exploring Bettisfield Park (10 minutes’ drive) or Chester (40 minutes’ drive), your day could look a little like canal walks followed by a barbecue back on site. A new site based out of a farm, there are simple facilities on site. These include cold water, a flushing toilet and basin for convenience. There are picnic tables (and a kitchen sink and drainer) for when you decide to get a barbecue on the go, but open fires aren’t permitted here for safety reasons. With the canal adjacent to the site, you may want to wander past its streamlined boats and into the historic town of Whitchurch (it’s a 45-minute walk away along the canal). Here, there are supermarkets and a takeaway, so it won't feel like the essential amenities are far away. When you’re looking for somewhere to stop off for food a little closer by, the local pub is an even shorter walk away (just five minutes up the road) and serves food, local real ales and more drinks from their wine list or selection of gins and whiskies.
