Relaxing time had by all
This was the first time the family and I have been to Blackshaw moor and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet there on our six night stay. On arrival we were warmly greeted and helped to find a suitable pitch for our outfit (we don't have a motor mover and I'm terrible at reversing so need all the help we can get). The pitch we chose was huge and we easily pushed our caravan into position. The toilet blocks are very clean and the site is kept to a very good standard. The wardens were out nearly everyday, all day, keeping everything nice and tidy. The information booth had a wealth of knowledge and the lady in reception was very helpful looking for historic places of interest on their computer, even printing off some suggestions to visit. The site is a few minutes drive from Leek, which has all your shopping requirements with Sainsburys, Morrisions and Waitrose in town. Just outside the site is the hotel/restaurant the three horseshoes. It looked nice from the outside however they do not allow pets so we didn't go in. Although a couple of minutes drive from there is the Lazy Trout, a charming old pub which has some great beers and a tasty lunchtime menu. Also nearby is Tittesworth Reservoir which is a great place to walk round and burn off some calories. All in all the site and the surrounding area is great and one we will definitely consider returning to in the future.
