Marbury Camp and Lodge

Alan Rogers Review of Marbury Camp and Lodge

Marbury Camp and Lodge is a site that overlooks the breath-taking Cheshire Plains and is a small, open all year rural site close to the England Wales border. Guests can choose from 12 grass pitches with optional electric hook-up point 6amp and a picnic table. Or 12 fully serviced grass pitches with optional electric hook-up point 6amp and a picnic table. The site also has two fully furnished, uniquely designed glamping pod cabins available to hire. Head to Whitchurch nearby (15 minutes’ drive) or explore the many walking and biking routes, including the National Cycle Network Route 47 and the Sandstone Trail (bike hire is available). Local market towns of Whitchurch and Nantwich are only a 15-minute drive away. Guests are presented with a range of welcome packs, fire pits and cycle hire (subject to availability).

For a spot of sightseeing, set out to soak up the culture at several churches and castles nearby. For some gothic architecture head to Combermere Abbey (around 10 minutes' drive) or Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (about 15 minutes). The medieval Beeston Castle (20 minutes) comes with spectacular views and a 40-acre woodland park to amble about in. Several of the surrounding towns have a lot to offer here. As well as Whitchurch there's also Nantwich (15 minutes), known for its listed buildings and annual cheese show.
