Hello

Looking for 'open all year' recommendations for a CL within approx. 2 hours drive of Manchester for 21 Jan to 26 Jan 

1 small caravan, 1 dog & his human 

Many thanks

 Drive south on M6 then the M40 to J5 and look for Cholsey Grange, no. 36 on map, and enjoy a quiet pastoral CL.

2hrs might be stretching it though, but nonetheless worth the effort.

Stretching it indeed redface! Best guesstimate for Manchester to High Wycombe is well over 3 hours, and that probably assumes you are the only car on the route! laughing And not towing!πŸ˜‚

How about us? Stoney Leach Nurseries (no.813, page 377 in the Directory) is in a quiet, rural setting not for from Junction 27 of the M6.    Open all year and with hard-standing pitches, we charge Β£13 per night including EHU, awning and dogs.   You can get to Manchester by road, 30.6 miles to the centre.  The nearest train station is 2.5 miles and the trains take about 50 minutes and run about every 30 minutes depending on the time of day  Hope this is helpful, you would both be most welcome to stay here.

susanb, just checked out your CL, as we are often in need of a CL to use when visiting our son in Manchester.  Will put your site on our list. smile Thanks.

Yours looks a very nice site however it's a bit too close to where I work .... big place at Kitt Green with a big illuminated 57  πŸ˜‰

For that price one could stay at the club's Burrs Country Park site. As a single occupant it would only cost you Β£14:70 pn compared to Β£20 pn at Welltrough CL, and be a closer to M/C too.

Similar price for Chester Fairoaks an hours drive

Some people have no idea about the geography of this country!!

We are only travelling from near Sheffield to Manchester tomorrow, a tiny distance as the crow flies, but it will be a tortuous couple of hours we shall endure! But at least it isn’t blocked by snow.............yet! Only by a shivering mountain and an endless procession of HGVs.

Hope that you got across ok. Did you go via Woodhead? If so you might just have run into a flurry or two of snow as we did near Leek today!!surprised

We went via Woodhead, had a stroll with dogs at Langsett, had a good run until we hit Tintwistle, then the usual horrendous Manchester traffic set in. We needed to go to Salford as well, other side of City, so we just had to grin and bear it. Glad we went, we wanted to look at some furniture that looked great online, but we were disappointed when we saw the range in the showroom. So money saved. We came back via Castleton, stopped off up at Mam Tor to walk dogs again, then had a good meal in George, stopped off at Longshaw for a last walkies. No sign of any snow, but it was a lot colder across there. I had forgotten how bad the traffic is in Manchester.

Our CL in Shropshire is dog-friendly and is just over an hour from Manchester.  I used to work in Moss Side, Manchester and commute daily. We are 5 miles from Cheshire and 2 miles from North Wales.

Ellesmere is the lake district of Shropshire - our 2-acre CL is surrounded by rural canals, lakes, green fields and gently rolling hills.  £14 per night including EHU.  We make no charge to use our Wi-Fi.
