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!

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.

Things to do on site and in the Chester area
Guests can enjoy a variety of activities on site and close by. There are often a selection of on site activities to keep you busy such as gin tasting, cookery course, picnic in the paddock and many more.
The pony trekking centre is almost on the doorstep and nature and history trails to follow to the village. At weekends guests are welcome to join Suzanne on a walk on The Sandstone Ridge to see some of the amazing local scenery.
Beeston Castle is a stone's throw away and luckily you are just round the corner from the famous Cheshire Ice Cream Farm, voted one of Britain's best free attractions.
Manley Mere is always a favourite along with Delamere Forest, the Boneyard Skate Park and other fabulous activities close by. Strolling the quaint and curious streets of nearby Chester is fun too and only a 20 minute drive away.
The famous Ice Cream Farm is just round the corner and a little further along is the new and wonderful Bewilderwood Cheshire - both great days out for you to enjoy.
Night time on site provides a magical setting for sitting round your fire pit toasting marshmallows and watching the amazing display of birds and bats. You are surrounded by amazing flora and fauna and children and adults alike will experience a peaceful country get away.
You may want to explore the peaceful walks on the Sandstone Trail, followed by a coffee in the Cheshire Candle Workshops or a pint of local beer at The Pheasant Inn.
The site works with a variety of local businesses such as a local baker who makes stunning homemade cakes, ideal if you are celebrating on your stay, through to local pubs and eateries such as The Sportsmans Arms, Letters Inn,The Village Indian, and The Pheasant Inn.
And that's without mentioning the amazing on site food from Apricot Blue with their home made food cooked to order when they are on site.
During the season there are also a variety of special activities taking place such as a Gin Tasting Weekend, Cookery Courses, The Great American BBQ, plus taster paddle boarding sessions and archery.
