Spring Stay at Blackshaw Moor
It must be almost 18 years since we last stayed here but returned for a short stay last weekend.
Access is easy and the site managers were very welcoming on arrival.
Some of the pitches are in small enclaves and we pitched in one towards the top of the site with views towards the Roaches. There is some road noise which as the site sits just off the A53 it was to be expected. All the pitches were large and there seemed to be plenty of space.
I found the top toilet block a bit chilly, but the lower larger block was much warmer, both were kept very clean. There is now a useful dog wash at the top of the site. There is only a small playground for children.
There are plenty of lovely walks in the area although some do involve walking along the path on the main road. Ladderedge Country Park in Leek and Rudyard Lake are worth a visit. Leek has plenty of supermarket's for supplies. We had a lovely pub lunch at Ye Old Rock Inn which is close to the site. We tend to use CL'S as a rule, but overall we liked this site and may well visit again in the future.
