We have just returned from a stay at Swanley House CL. This is our first visit to this site and certainly will not be our last. We have stayed at many CL’s in our travels but this has to be in our special set of top sites. The setting is beautiful with expansive views across the CL to the surrounding countryside and the grounds are immaculate. A huge amount of work is done by the owners, John and Kath, to keep the pitches and surrounding lawns tidy and dare I say it looking better than some golf greens I have seen! These are superior pitches in every sense of the word with plenty of room between each pitch and each with its own water tap, EHU and drain. The recycling and black waste point is spacious and easily accessible. The pond encourages a large variety of birdlife and there is an overall sense of tranquillity when sitting out at the end of the day. The Llangollen canal is a short walk from the site, and we also made a 9 mile circular walk from the site along the canal to where it joined the Shropshire Union canal passing the Hurleston lock flight and then on down to Acton and back to the Llangollen via the Dorfold Hall estate and Ravensworth. Nantwich is well worth a visit and the Superlative Walks website, and they offer a Nantwich town and river walk which combines very interesting details on the main historical features of the town and a 3 mile riverside loop walk. We haven’t stopped talking about our visit since returning home.
