Magical Malpas Pyo Farm

The scent of strawberries warming in the sun drifts across the pitches, mingling with cut grass and the quiet hum of Cheshire farmland beyond the hedgerows.

This is a proper pick-your-own farm that happens to welcome campers, so it suits families who fancy filling punnets between pitches, couples after a quiet rural spot, and tourers exploring the Welsh borders without the big-site bustle. Cheshire here is gently rolling, close to the Marches, the kind of countryside where lanes meander and church spires dot the horizon. You can pitch tents, campervans, or caravans across grassy ground that feels more working farm than manicured park—expect a relaxed, informal setup rather than regimented rows.

Facilities are straightforward: toilets and showers onsite, no frills but clean and functional. Campfires are worth asking about when you arrive—policies can vary depending on the season and ground conditions. It's a low-key, agricultural kind of stay, perfect if you want fruit-picking mornings and evenings spent under wide skies, but not the place if you need a playground or a shop.
