  • Shropshire farm site on the Offa's Dyke Path and by the River Teme
  • A 10-minute drive to the Spaceguard Centre; 40 minutes to Elan Valley
  • Stroll along the riverbank to Knighton in 20 minutes
Just next to the Offa’s Dyke Path and on the banks of the River Teme, Panpwnton Farm is about as close to Wales as it’s possible to be without actually being in Wales (although as the border’s just a couple of hundred metres away you can easily flit between the two nations as you wish…) That location makes this a prime pick for anyone making their way along the entirety of the Offa’s Dyke Path – but there’s plenty of walking (and cycling too) to be done nearby for folk who aren’t up for such long-distance ventures. The farm is in the southern stretches of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes' drive from Llanfair Waterdine), where lots of scenic trails await, and you can also try out shorter stretches of Glyndwr’s Way, another major trail on the Welsh side of the border. There’s pretty rural scenery all around the farm, but you’ll not be stranded miles from civilisation – in fact it’s only about a mile to the small town of Knighton for pubs, eateries, shops and a railway station. You can drive down there in five minutes or so, but the favoured way to travel is to stroll along the riverbank for 20 minutes. Barbecues are permitted on site, so stock up on goodies for the grill while you’re in town. A washing-up area is on hand for cleaning up afterwards, and there are hot showers to help you do the same for yourself. There’s no wifi on site, but most guests get decent phone signal, and there are charging facilities to make sure you’ve got plenty of juice to plan your adventures.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The site is located in a rural location (on the Offa’s Dyke Walk) but within a short walking distance from Knighton. Perfect balance! I saw kingfishers and red tailed kites with owls hooting away while I was stargazing! The site has loads of space with three fields to pick from. Pitch wherever you like. The atmosphere is definitely relaxed, in a good way. The facilities are clean with plenty of toilets, showers and hot water (all free). There is even a little cafe/van on site selling drinks and hot snacks. The river Teme is next to the site and provides a lovely backdrop to the area. There is a railway track right beside the site but it only had small trains that didn’t run often or late and wasn’t obtrusive.

Disliked: None

Non-electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great site in a fabulous spot. Lots to do in the area and a beautiful area at that.

Disliked: The main field is quite far from the facilities which is quite a trek for a little one when they suddenly decide they need the toilet.

Jayne S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We had a lovely stay here travelling with friends and young children. The location is beautiful, well kept and had lovely facilities. It is in a great location for visiting surrounding places. There is a shallow river at the bottom of the top field that the children had a paddle in. They also enjoyed seeing the train going past!

Disliked: My only criticism is that if you are staying on the large field, it is a bit of a trek to use the facilities especially with young children, and to dispose of rubbish in the bins. It may be beneficial to have a couple of porta-loos in the top field for nighttime emergencies and a wheelie bin!

Local attractions

As you’ll probably be skipping about either side of Offa’s Dyke, it makes sense to start your trip with a visit to the Offa’s Dyke centre (five minutes’ drive) to find out about the ancient landmark. For other walking trails, head to the Elan Valley or Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (both 40 minutes). For a closer look at the natural world, plan trips to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre (25 minutes) or stop by at the Red Kite Feeding Station (40 minutes) to see these splendid beasts in flight. The Spaceguard Centre observatory (10 minutes) is also worth a visit if you’d like to find out more about the skies overhead. Castle outings are part of the landscape for trips here too – perhaps to the impressive 13th-century fortifications of Stokesay Castle (half an hour) or the art-filled rooms and colourful gardens of Powis Castle and Garden (50 minutes). If you’d rather skip straight to the garden strolls, try Hergest Croft Gardens (25 minutes).
