Campsites near canals

Probably a bit too close to Bath, but at Sells Green near Devizes there is the C&CC site and next door a small site behind the 3 Magpies pub, both right on the doorstep of the K&A.

There is a CL, I think called Cambria Cruisers right by the canal near Brecon. Haven't stayed there but it always looks good and popular when we walk past.

And near Ellesmere there is a site next to the canal towpath which again we've walked past, but I can't remember the name - Google will be your friend there.

Hope that helps. Good luck. 

Edit - think the last one is called Ty Mawr and is a C&CC CS,  so you'd  have to be a member.

Hi

Try the CL, Overwater Marina, number 103 in the site guide or Lower Blackoe Farm, No.1319. Not actually stayed at either but have wanted to at Overwater.

Warwick Racecourse, five minutes across racecourse brings you to Grand Union Canal, miles and miles of safe cycling with lots of industrial heritage, some built up sections, some very rural. Lots of pubs.

Or, Minnows Caravan Site, near Tiverton. Used to be on Club Site network, but not from this year. Stunningly beautiful Grand Western Canal, used to link Taunton and Tiverton. Very rural, but pubs along the way, lots of wildlife. There’s a very basic CL in Sampford Peverell as well, brilliant in Summer, very quiet.

Lady Margaret site is near the Shropshire union canal  you can cycle right along it to Llangollen and beyond.

Off  the  top  of  my  head,  I'm  thinking  there's  a  site  by  The  Tudor  Arms  very  close  to  Slimbridge  WWF  butts  up  against  a  canal,  so  you  can  do  some  serious  bird  watching  from  your  bike  in  the  area  !

Or go the other way and cycle to the furthest corner of England ( well nearly )!!

Have driven past the appropriately named The Canal Side Caravan Site just off the A49 at Whitchurch in Shropshire. Looks OK.

Wonder if Moulesy is thinking of Neymes Caravan Site in Ellesmere, Shropshire, about 1/2 mile from the canal.

No, we stayed at Newnes (?) a couple of years back, very nice small private site. But that was where we did the walk along that stretch of canal from.

Just tried an experiment and put the word "canal" in search, this proved to be worth it, you'll see various waterside sites appearing. I'd like to visit the one at Stoke Bruerne, it's non EHU so not everyone's cup of tea. But it's a very interesting canal village.

Sorry, M.(x2) Newnes it is.
