Short stay
We don’t drive off site and spent 4 nights here (3 complete days). Day 1 we walked along the edge of the A53 on a pavement to Leek which took about 1 hour. The walk wasn’t pleasant but in the sunshine on market day Leek was. There is an alternative route along the Churnet Way with less road but it will take much longer. We had better walks with less A53 on Days 2 and 3 to the Tittesworth Reservoir café and around the reservoir and in the other direction to The Roaches Tea Room and around The Roaches with great views. Both cafes are reached on foot in about ½ hr. If we return it will be to explore more of The Roaches in better weather. IMO the A53 is unsuitable for bicycles which rules out cycling from the site. We didn’t see any busses. Road noise from the A53 is intrusive on the lower part of the site but less so higher up. The welcome sheet warns those higher up that they may occasionally be exposed to motor-cross bike noise. Fortunately, we didn’t experience this. Some of the pitches at the top of the site are close to the children’s play area.
