Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Quiet site, bit like a carpark, the marina was nice, a lot of boats, toilets clean

Disliked: Toilets quite a walk away in night, only 2 other pitches had occupants, we were given pitches next to each other, should space out. Electric kept going off, mentioned to nice lady in office, but was told it was an area thing not a marina thing, so couldn’t be helped

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nice peaceful location, almost level pitches (pitch 2 needed a little lift at the back) Good clean toilets and showers, lovely and warm inside too

Disliked: The weather recently meant that we didn't fancy a walk down to the aqueduct as the canal path was too boggy so looks like we'll have to pay another visit :-)

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the most picturesque track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
