It's full steam ahead for rail and glamping enthusiasts at Overwater Marina. Audlem's award-winning inland waterways marina has just launched their luxury glamping wagons right next to the dismantled Nantwich to Wellington railway line – the old Gingerbread line. With sumptuous built-in or freestanding beds, a fully stocked kitchen area, and an en-suite shower room these beautifully crafted wagons provide an ideal retreat for a peaceful getaway.
Glamping is of course as much about the outside space, so guests have their own private woodfired hot-tub and a seating area with a chiminea for those colder evenings. Guests can enjoy walks along the atmospheric old railway cutting, glimpse the canal boats on the Shropshire Union Canal embankment as it passes through the Weaver Valley, or relax by the new fishing and wildlife lakes.
With easy access to Audlem via the canal towpath, and the popular Crewe Heritage Centre only a twenty-minute drive away, the new venture is set to inspire generations of rail enthusiasts keen to find out more about the history of the Great Western Railway as well as visitors who just want to get away from it all in the beautiful Cheshire countryside with a little luxury thrown in on the side!
Booking is now available through the website, www.overwatermarina.co.uk or by calling 01270 812677
