About Pitch and Canvas
Previously Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park of the Year by Marketing Cheshire, this site is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. Quiet and friendly, it's perfect for relaxing in the summer sun or strolling the quaint streets of historic Chester. The site offers a wide variety of accommodations to suit your needs, from cosy pods or spacious hardstanding pitches. There are also grass pitches, yurts and holiday homes - there really is something for everyone. Suitable for camping and touring, the pitches are spread across two fields. Hardstanding pitches are available with or without electric hookup. All pitches are located around the outsides, ensuring the middle area is open with plenty of space. Plus, you'll have fantastic views of the Sandstone Ridge. Oak and Acorn, the cosy pods, can house up to four people. Great for your weekend break away or your annual relaxing holiday, all year round. Oak pod offers you a peaceful night's sleep with a comfy double bed, a small fridge, a kettle and cutlery. Outside, you have your decking, tables and chairs, and a fire pit. In the autumn and winter months, there is an electric fire to keep you warm inside. Sleeps up to two adults and two children. Acorn pod, on the other hand, sleeps 2 people and provides camping without the canvas. This insulated pod includes two camp beds, a kettle and a picnic table. Remember to bring your bedding! There are also grass pitches, yurts and holiday homes available. You may want to explore the peaceful walks on the Sandstone Trail, followed by a drink in one of the many great coffee shops or pubs. With Chester Zoo, BeWilderwood, and other famous attractions just moments away, there's something for the whole family to enjoy. By night, after a fun-filled day, relax under the stars toasting marshmallows on one of the firepits. The staff here understand the importance of quality time and endeavour to make your stay memorable, after all, you don't get many holidays a year so when you do you want it to be the best! You can get away from your daily routines and take a step back in time to a place of bird song and magnificent views to create lifelong holiday memories.

Stayed for 5 nights in our motorhome, beautiful surroundings and Suzanna was so helpful when I arrived. Peaceful and only a 30 minute walk to the local village to get the bus to central Chester, which is again a 30 minute bus ride. Good food shop in village. Really enjoyed my stay and will return. Great location if you want to avoid the noise of Chester but only a short drive or bus stop away.
Brilliant find

Warm welcome, dry, clean toilets & showers. Weather wasn't great but still had a great time. Plenty of space between pitches, not over cramped & well numbered. Well stocked Spar 20min walk & a few pubs. No pavement for half the walk, but locals gave plenty of room for us walking with a dog & our son. Would recommend & can't wait for our next visit.
Great place
