Campsites near canals

How about the Leeds/Liverpool Canal in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales?  Try Eshton Road Campsite at Gargrave, Niffany Farm near Skipton, Riverside campsite at Cononley all within a short distance of the canal, and the river Wharfe, with some beautiful cycling.   Skipton is a nice market town, with castle, and good markets on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Satuday.  Plenty of places to eat, a really good farm shop (Keelham Farm) and lots of independent businesses as well as a couple of department stores.

We're currently walking the Leeds/Liverpool canal (in stages).  

There are lots of other non-cycling activities, also, and beautiful scenery all around.

The Club site called Hebden Bridge is not too far from the Rochdale Canal. Poolsbrook is within cycling distance of the Chesterfield Canal.

The Brecon CAMC site is just the other side of the A40 from the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal. Cycle tow /path all the way from Brecon to Newport.

Somebody has has just written a review of this site and mentions a walk to the canal.

 Not sure I'd want to cycle the aquaduct at Ponc..... 😲

Isn't that more correctly the Llangollen arm of the Shropshire union. It would be a great ride into Llangollen.

A CL right on the Grand Union Canal is Grove Lock Marina and another at Stoke Bruerne Is Home Farm CL, walking distance of the Canal Musuem and the Blisworth Tunnel..

In the Midlands there is the Kingsbury Waterside C&CC site, within spitting distance of the Birmigham and Fazeley Canal and the waterside park. Both offer excellent cycling routes.

My review of Kings Orchard Marina

'We chose this site purely for location and weren't disappointed. Site is well maintained and facilities are excellent. If you are sensitive to noise there is both road and rail noise (24hrs) which I found quite intrusive for the first night. Local pub The plough has very good food and drink. Lovely walks along tow path. National Arboretum is only a 10 minute drive away as is the lovely city of Lichfield'
