LOCAL CAMPSITES
There are 3 local campsites that we use regularly. These are Forest Camp, Tatton Park and Queen Charlottes Wood. All 3 are run by volunteers and have excellent facilites and oppertunities for different activities.
Queen Charlotte's Wood
Comprising of nine acres of undulating woodland it has sheltered grass sites that are suitable for Group or Patrol camping. Being positioned between the Frodsham and Helsby Hills at the end of the sandstone ridge that runs NW to NE across the Cheshire plain, it is an ideal base site for those wishing to walk the Sandstone Trail or the Delamere Forest.
Activities include - pioneering, archery, orienteering, local climbing, adventure trail, Sandstone trail and a close access to Delamere Forest.
