A place to unwind in the heart of the countryside. Canalside walks are on your doorstep and nature is never far away - birds of prey such as red kites and buzzards are plentiful, and you may be lucky enough to see otters in the canal. There's a variety of pubs and restaurants within a short drive, and the market towns of Rugby and Market Harborough area about 20 minutes away. Unwind in the hot tub, enjoy local beers and ciders or pick from our expertly curated wine list. Our Lodges have their own fire pits and BBQs, and all fuel is provided. Each lodge has its own hammock, and a designated private fishing peg at a turning point in the canal, meaning that you'll be largely undisturbed by passing boats.

Where to go

Shropshire Hills AONB

Choose from glamping pods, campgrounds, or full-service caravan parks close to this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty situated on the Wales-England border. The Shropshire Hills AONB is known for rolling hills, working farms, and acres of woodland which can be explored on foot, by bike, or on horseback. Watersports fans are catered to as well, as you can also go canoeing in this inland beauty spot.

Cannock Chase

This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 45 minutes from Alton, is a family-friendly destination that boasts treetop adventure rope courses, horseback riding opportunities, and a network of accessible footpaths and cycling routes for laidback woodland exploration. Set up camp in the AONB proper or opt for a caravan park, glamping site, or campground nearby to make the most of this underrated West Midlands destination.

Peak District National Park

Straddling the border between Derbyshire and West Yorkshire, the Peak District National Park is a walker’s ideal destination that’s also home to watersports spots (like Tittesworth Reservoir), mountain biking trails, and former spa towns such as Buxton and Bakewell. Campers have plenty of options here too, from back-to-basics campgrounds overlooking heather-clad hillside to private caravan parks and glamping sites.

When to go

Like most of the UK, the best time to visit Alton is during the sunnier summer months when it’s warmer. However, spring is also fantastic in this region, as seasonal wildflowers start to bloom and there are fewer crowds. Autumn is a good option for campers who don’t mind the cold or for caravanners looking to make the most of down season prices. Just come prepared for year-round rainfall in this part of the world.

Know before you go

  • Alton is home to the eponymous Alton Towers theme park, a great family-friendly destination that gets extremely busy during the school holidays (Easter, July, and August). Visit midweek and outside of these dates for a quieter experience.
  • Alton is a small village and, as such, doesn’t have the camping and outdoor supply stores of nearby Stoke-on-Trent or Derby. Stock up before setting up camp in Alton.
  • There’s no train station in Alton, so it’s best to arrive by car or the X41 bus. The closest train station is in nearby Uttoxeter.
