Our tenth wedding anniversary fell mid week just after the Tatton Park VW show so we took a few days off to make for a relaxing get away. Due to tight budget constraints after our month long euro trip, we chose to try and keep the affair simple and inexpensive. Last year we visited Chester on our 9th anniversary, but this was in the form of a hotel room very central to the city and its walls. This was all very nice, but we didn’t have the campervan on the road in 2017 due to gearbox issues, so that ruled out any chance of camping.
This year we found a nice campsite only a few miles away from the city, with immediate access to a canal path for walking, cycling and paddle boarding. You never can never really tell from a website what a campsite is going to be like, and to be honest i was so focused on the VW event that i didn’t give a great deal of thought to the second part of our vacation until we left Knutsford. The weather had been warm and sunny for most of this summer, and it wasn’t showing any signs of changing to the point it may spoil our three night camp over. It literally took 30 minutes to get to Netherwood Touring Site, and after a short conversation with the campsite owner, we pulled up the driveway onto a well maintained field. 
Our location did not have electric hookup as this wasn’t a requirement for us, but there were numerous hard standing pitches available with electric. The grounds were well established with plenty of mature trees which gave it a nice feel.
Over the course of our three day stay we did plenty of exploring locally on our push bikes, which included a day in the city. We also visited the local Cheshire Cat pub only 5 minutes walk along the canal path which served good food and drink.
