Why stay here ...

We have been a CL site since 1969.

There are five  grass pitches situated in a well mown lawn field sheltered by mature trees and hedges. All have electric hook up and plenty of space. Facilities include, chemical toilet and grey water emptying point, refuse disposal, recycling, toilets and water.

The site is a hidden gem in the heart of the country on the Staffordshire Shropshire boarder where there is peace and tranquility alongside the Shropshire Union Canal, yet within easy reach of junction 14 of the M6.

We are surrounded by beautiful country side where you can walk the many footpaths, the canal tow path or explore the area by bicycle.

There are many places of interest within a short driving distance with golfing and game fishing also close by. We can provide permits for canal fishing alongside the site, which are free to Club members using the CL.

The site is within the grounds of our home, "The Anchor Inn", recently awarded heritage status of national importance. The pub has been kept by our family for nearly 150 years. It has changed very little in all that time. Enjoy your drink in the friendly atmosphere seated on the original settles at the old scrubbed tables, which have been used by working narrow boat people since the 1830s. Any entertainment is created by you or the passing canal folk. We are famous for our real ale and scrumpy and have received many CAMRA  pub awards including pub of the year. There is no restaurant but we will happily make you a sandwich to enjoy In the parlour bar or in the pretty canal side beer garden.

Supermarkets can be found in Newport 4 miles away. The nearby ancient market town of Eccleshall is 4 miles away and there is small post office and shop in the local village of Woodseaves, only one mile away. Mementos and gifts can be purchased from our own gift shop.

What a great place. Considering how bad the weather has been and how wet the field was, Elaine went out of her way to make it possible for us to pitch our caravan. We had such a wonderful welcome from Elaine and the Anchor Inn is the most... Show more

Wonderful CL

Wonderful CL in lovely peaceful setting beside the picturesque Shropshire Union Canal. The Anchor Inn pub is an old fashioned gem next door to the camping fields. The hostess Elaine owns both the pub and the CL. We can’t praise her highly enough, very friendly and helpful. Been coming here for... Show more

Lovely little CL

Stayed just one night to break journey on a long haul to Scotland. Very handy as not far from M6. Immaculate lawned site. Only very slightly sloping and leveling blocks quicky fixed that. No noise despite being next to pub. Owners very welcoming. Friendly little pub but absoutely tiny inside.... Show more

Not for us

other than the large open field to set up on i really can't find anything good to say. the peace and quiet people talk about was no existent due to the owners dogs continually barking. although when loose were friendly and quiet. I found the owners distant and standoffish. getting any information... Show more

Amazingly peaceful

We had a very warm welcome with choices of where to pitch. There are two sites here. The CL which is grass and at the back, separate, a "private" site of about 7 hard standing pitches. Both fields slope, the rear site more so, although it probably has more "flat" pitches.... Show more

A charming well-kept site with a quaint pub serving real ale. Lots to see, a great walk along the canal to Norbury Junction to the canal festival. As has been previously mentioned, the road is narrow, however, there are passing places, which could prove tricky for some. We had no... Show more

We booked this site because we were visiting relations in the neighbouring village so it was a convenient location.
