About The Glen Certificated Location

The Glen Certificated Location is a small campsite on Helsby Road near Alvanley, in the Cheshire countryside overlooking the river. Being a certificated site means it operates on a modest scale with limited pitches, keeping things quiet and peaceful rather than busy. The pitches are well-maintained and come with water and electric hookups, so you can run a kettle and charge devices without faffing about with generators.

Facilities include showers and toilets, kept clean and in good order. The riverside views and tranquil setting make this a place to genuinely unwind rather than a hub of activity. It suits anyone after a relaxing stopover in the northwest, away from the rush of larger parks.

Ian Plagaro

Perfect location for a quiet stopover between Holyhead and Newcastle. Would also be ideal for exploring the local area. Pitches are level, very good showers and toilets. Black and grey waste, EHU and a water tap on each pitch. Amazing views of the local countryside.

A certified location site having 5 hard standing serviced pitches and a clean shower and toilet block. Absolutely fabulous views over the river mersey and into wales. The farm also has lovely highland cows in the next field. A great place to watch new year fireworks. Will definitely return.
