Why stay here ...

Our CL is a quiet site on a small working farm on the outskirts of Chester. The 1 acre site is dry, flat and well drained. Pitches are lawned with hard standings also available adjacent to the entrance to the site. We are 0.5 mile away from a cycle track network and 0.75 mile away from a park and ride bus to Chester. However, this is currently shut, but there is an alternative service bus which operates every 20 mins along the same route into Chester (No.10 or 10A).

No groundsheets

Dog walk adjacent.
