Superb stay early August 2021

Reviewed on the last night our 4 night stay in early August 2021. This is a wonderful certified location for the CAMC to have in its portfolio. The pitches are flat, back onto an embankment of the canal offering views screened by shrubs for privacy. Toilet and shower facikities (x2) are excellent with plenty of piping hot water and are kept cleaned on a regular basis. Security on the site is first class with a coded sliding gate and a keylocked doorway. inside the marina is the Torrs brewery, a marina shop, laundry machines, and calor gas, with diesel fuel and services for narrow boat owners. This site is close enough to New Mills for a leisurly stroll and opportunity to visit the many pubs - The Rock Tavern, Pride of the Dales, and my Favourite the Beer Shed are all worthy of mentioning here. Top Tips are a walk along the canal towards Manchester for industrial history and the delightful aroma of the Swizzels sweetie factory, a walk towards Buxton along the canal to Furness Vale Marina to see 'Rodney' the very del boy plonkeree canal boat on upwards at the canal bridge to the Soldier Dick pub and the Chip Box chippy. A trip out to Lyme park never fails to delight and certainly a trip to Glossop Caravans to browse and of course pick up a few things from the shop. Many walks abound in the area and there is much National Trust to be visited. All in all this is a beautifully run site in a superb location and a real eye opening gem to the area. 4 nights is simply not enough. Many thanks to the managing team for enabling such a magnificent stay.
