Quarry Walk Camping and Caravan Park

Quarry Walk Camping and Caravan Park is an excellent base for cycling, hiking or just chilling out after visiting the nearby attractions. Within walking range of the site is Staffordshire's ‘secret’ woodlands, Hawksmoor – the National Trust-protected area is tip top for impressing your pals with atmospheric pics. Alton Towers, 15 minutes away, is one of the UK’s best theme parks, with extensive acres of green space to potter round and some of the country’s most adrenaline-inducing rides, such as Nemesis and Oblivion. You should also take a look at the display of Anglo Saxon gold in the Staffordshire Hoard (25 minutes) and medieval Lichfield Cathedral (50 minutes). If wandering through green gardens and visiting stately manor houses is more your sort of thing, then Aston Hall and Biddulph Grange Garden should put a smile on your face, both within an hour’s drive of the site. Staffordshire is stacked to the max with attractions, which include the famed ceramics and pottery factory shops in Stoke-on-Trent, and the many castles dotting the county. Statford Barn Railway and Tamworth Castle (both one hour away) are also worth browsing for those looking for a bit of history and culture. For something a little off the grid, Tamworth SnowDome is an hour’s drive away – here you can brush up on your ski and snowboard skills, whatever the weather. Happy shoppers will be chuffed to note that Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham are all within two hours of the site.
