i'm looking for a site (tent) not too far from north cheshire (too far e.g Southport)
we aren't going away for a long holiday this year, but would like to go for weekends instead.
We need somewhere that has enough things on site to keep the kids entertained, ( not haven) so we can relax. Sorry but a set of swings keep them amused for the half hour it takes us to set up but then they are constantly nagging for us to go somewhere and spend money. I am sure we can't be the only family out there like this, hence my plea for help.
thanks sukilou

abbey farm ormskirk

If i could pick this site up and move it closer then i'd probably move in full time. (What a great site)
When i said not Southport, i should have said the general area.
It took us 3 hours to get there the last few times of going to Ormskirk just because of the traffic heading towards Southport
It was a nightmare with the kids arguing in the back of the car.
Thanks for your suggestion, and i would recommend to everyone else

Does anyone know if the Wild Boar Pub Site has a playground at the back of the pub?

You can avoid the southport traffic to get to Abbey Farm by coming off at junction 27 of M6 and past Parbold/Newburgh then turn left before the Esso and turn first right -instead of junction 26/M58 - much quicker!
