See all facilities…Perhaps you’re a put-upon parent. Or an anguished auntie. Or one of those people who are scared of kids (well, they do ask such peculiar questions and also loudly point out one’s apparent weirdness in public). Or perhaps you are fond of small people but only in small doses. Whichever category you fall into, if you’re craven an adults-only space for your hols at any time of the year, Greenway Touring Site should fit the bill.
The park is small, friendly and peaceful but is easily accessed a couple of miles along the B4368 from Craven Arms, is nine miles from historic Ludlow and is within reach of the Welsh border for days’ worth of grown-up sightseeing and shopping; if the thought of other humans is making you shudder, Greenway is in the Corvedale hills in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with miles of solitary walks and sightseeing in all directions.
Greenway Touring Site is well-landscaped and on a gentle slope, with spacious pitches for tents, tourers and motorhomes on hardstanding or grass. For Shropshire glampers, there are camping pods available which come with heating and lighting.
Craven canine company? Dogs are welcome at Greenway and one of the camping pods is pet-friendly.
Nearby attractions and activities
Fans of history of all sorts will be in heaven here: Stokesay and Ludlow Castle are both nearby and the famous Ironbridge Gorge set of museums are within half an hour’s drive. Craven Arms is the starting point for all sorts of Shropshire sightseeing, but stick around in the town for a bit first to take in a bit of modern history and popular culture at the Land of Lost Content, the world’s biggest archive of pop culture items from the twentieth century. Perhaps that’s where your Rubix Cube went…
Craven Arms is also home to the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre for virtual balloon rides over the hills, mammoth-meeting and all sorts of info on the history of the hills. A famous local landmark, Flounders Folly, is just north of the town.
The thirty acres of the Onny Meadows start just outside the discovery centre with waymarked walking and bike trails including the Shropshire Way. Mountain biker? Head for Hopton Wood, the main mountain biking centre in Shropshire with three downhill trails and a warm-up loop.
There are gardens, a limestone quarry and a trout fishery in the grounds of Delbury Hall, just outside Craven Arms between Much Wenlock and Ludlow, with heaps more history in nearby Shrewsbury: the National Trust’s eighteenth century mansion and deer park Attingham Park is here, as is the Norman Shrewsbury Castle with the Shropshire Regimental Museum. And over 600 listed buildings, medieval cobbled streets, one of the tallest church spires in the country…
The market town of Ludlow in the Welsh Marches is another historic spot to spend a day or two, with a side trip to Ludlow Racecourse almost a must: well, horse-racing is the ancient sport of kings. There are traditional, farmers’ and flea markets in Ludlow for further lightening of the wallet.
And then north to Church Stretton…stop off at the Acton Scott Estate with its historic working farm to see how farmers did it in yesteryear, try the archery for which the town is famous, or take off from the high hills of Long Mynd for hang gliding, gliding and paragliding; one of the highest golf courses in the country is here too.

Carry On Glamping bezmondo (Solo traveller-male, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: I stayed at Greenway at the end of April 2013. It was too cold for a tent and my wallet was running on empty so no chance for a b&b or hotel. The solution was to try glamping at Greenway... and it was perfect. The cabin had everything I wanted: a new click-lock sofa bed, a fridge,a kettle, electric lights and a fan heater, which I was grateful for when the temperature started ... Disliked: Nothing |
