Well, we've had our NuVenture for just over a week now and we're desperate to have a trial run! We used to have a caravan but haven't toured for years and now we're trying to think of somewhere, our minds have gone blank!  

We never bothered with electric in the past but seeing as it's winter we want to go somewhere with electric hookup so we can take a small fan heater plus we don't want to travel further than 100 miles from Wigan.

Does anyone have any ideas of where we can go, everywhere we can think of is shut for winter. 

Pleeeeeeease help!

Hi Try The Plassey at Wrexham really nice very well maintained site has a little craft village on site and golf and a couple of restraunts and also a hairdressers and beauty therapist of course you dont have to use these facilites but we found the little shops lovely especially the on that makes its own ice cream

Have you done a search on the  ?

Stacksteads Farm near Ingleton is open at this time of year, and the waterdfall walk is worth doing. Come of the M6 at Lancaster and turn right.

We stayed in November '04 and it was great, although toilet block was a little cold.

Just had another thought, Lickpenny in Derbyshire is open all year and usually has vacancies. We've stayed twice in the last couple of months. Really nice warm toilets as well !

Matlock Bath and Cromford areas are near bye and worth visiting.

There are a few caravan clubs sites which are open all year and not too far from Wigan:

Meathop Fell
Caravan Club Site
Grange-Over-Sands
LA11 6RB
England
65 miles from Wigan

Chester Fairoaks
Caravan Club Site
Rake Lane
Little Stanney
Chester
CH2 4HS
England
36 miles from Wigan

Wow, this is great, it's really exciting finding out about new places we'd never even thought of, thankyou, thankyou everyone, I'm going to look into all your suggestions.

If anyone comes along with even more ideas, please continue to let me know about them   

Try these for a few

Other option is do a general search on here and ask for sites in Lancashire a few may be more than u want to travel but at least u shall have a few more for when u wish to venture further a field.

 Have a look on my profile for some sites and reviews I have made, too many to reel off here.

 Hope you find somewhere and have a lovely time.
