Why stay here ...
Stoney Leach Nurseries c.l. is ideally situated for a restful break and a chance to explore an interesting and attractive part of northern England.
The site is for adults only, and is well-maintained with spacious hard-standing pitches each with a generous grassed area and hedge. An additional area of grass has been planted with trees and shrubs and adds to the open feel of the site which has views over the surrounding farmland as far as the Pennines.
Many of our visitors are happy to spend their time sitting on the site, maybe watching the activity on the adjoining nursery, but if you fancy something more energetic there are plenty of field paths from the site and within a few miles. Maps and leaflets are provided. Coarse fishing, horse riding and diving are all available locally. The towns of Wigan, Chorley and Ormskirk have excellent shops as do the seaside resort of Southport and the cities of Preston, Manchester and Liverpool, all within easy reach by car or train, nearest station 2 miles, bus stop 1 mile.
The nearest pub serving food is about 1.25 miles away and comes highly recommended by our guests, as does the local farm shop, about half a mile from the site.

One of the best CLs on the network
We stayed here from 18 April 2021 for 4 nights. What a lovely, well laid out and well maintained site. Everything is what you expect in a perfect site. Well maintained and easy to use. The owners have even provided hand sanitiser in multiple places. Views are brilliant, lots of wildlife including wrens, pheasant, squirrels. Good walks on well marked footpaths. Short walk into the village where there are buses into Wigan and Preston every hour (Route 113). The owners are pleasant and helpful. The site is locked day and night, and you are given a key. Toogood Farm Shop half a mile away. Well stocked with bread, chilled and frozen foods, and much more. Good phone signal (useful as a Hotspot for internet) and TV signal - you can see Winter Hill. And all for £14 a night. Doesn't get better than this. We will be back.
Wow Amazing site
Just back from one great weekend at this site. Great welcome and showed where our pitch was. The owner was so friendly. Great nursery, we walked around on our last day and bought some plants. A great base for many a good walk. We went into Wigan, nice town and great shops. Eat in the local White Lion (fab) and a nice walk to and from. We stayed on pitch 5. The weather and view was amazing and an absolute pleasure to bbq in the sun in such lovely surroundings after lock-down. A gem of a site and can’t wait to go back . Thank you Mr Basford we thoroughly enjoyed it. Hazel Taylor April 18th 2021.

What a lovely site
We stayed here for 4 nights in late October. We didn't have the best of weather but we enjoyed some great days out from here.
It's a lovely site, well maintained. and managed. All pitches are hard standing and very easy to access. All the usual facilities in place and good COVID compliance. We found it very handy for the nursery which was adjacent.
There are plenty of places to visit and things to see and do that are not too far away. Fairy Glen near Parbold Wigan and its Pier, Ormskirk & it's market all well worth a visit. Plenty to do further afield. Its extremely good value for money.
We used the White Lion for a meal out - less thant 10 mins by car.
A little gem
Stayed here 2 nights November. Friendly owners and great facilities. Nice walks and a few pubs within a mile. Great if you like walking like us. Probably need a car to eat out in the winter due to lanes not being very well lit.
A little gem.
