Add your business details- Off-grid site in a secluded corner of rural Cheshire
- A 20-minute drive to the edge of the Peak District; 10 to Congleton
- Eco retreat with campfire areas
Prop your feet up in a peaceful spot surrounded by a proper walkers’ paradise… Broadleaf Forest Adventures in rural Cheshire is that type of place where it’s easy to drift away to a time before emails, smartphones and electric light. The off-grid site belongs to an untouched woodland where there's plenty of scope for roaming, with the edge of the Peak District National Park a mere 20 minutes’ drive away.
Having packed a tent and a pair of walking boots, you may well be wondering about other items to bring along. Start off with a trusty torch – this off-grid site has no lighting (aside from the stars and any campfires you've built among the trees). Handy hands-free head torches are also available to hire on site; bundles of logs and kindling are also for sale. The friendly staff can also sort you out with a breakfast hamper and are able to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements.
In terms of practicalities, this site has a back to basics composting loo and a shared kitchen space. To help maintain peaceful vibes in the woods and keep the critters that live there happy, all cars are parked a short walk away.
If you do need to make the odd trip back to civilisation, Congleton (10 minutes' drive) is a rather pleasant place to do it. Here there are supermarkets and restaurants, as well as local attractions like a museum, watersports centre and golf course.

Local attractions
Where to go walking first? The Gawsworth Trail, a few minutes' walk from the site, which is a splendid course through the Cheshire countryside? A hike to see the gritstone crags at Hanging Stone (20 minutes’ drive)? A lap of the lake at Astbury Mere Country Park (15 minutes)? It’s likely that watersports might take your liking at this country park, where canoeing, kayaking and raft building are some of your other choices.
For some lazier ways to spend an afternoon, you could go for a round at the Macclesfield Golf Club (15 minutes), let your artistic side take over at the Potty Sheep paint-a-pot studio (15 minutes) or have a potter around the Biddulph Grange Garden (20 minutes) to see all the cool plant species.
History fans could call into Armoury Towers in Macclesfield (10 minutes) to ogle over a Grade I-listed building… meanwhile, anyone who wants some more action will be well-set with a trip to Alton Towers (40 minutes) or closer by, the Cloudside Shooting Grounds (15 minutes) for some clay pigeon shooting.
