Family-friendly site in the Shropshire Hills, near the Welsh border
Offa’s Dyke Path 10 minutes’ drive; Ludlow and Shrewsbury 40 minutes
Close to hiking and biking trails; campfires and barbecues allowed

Have bike, will travel… If you’re itching to let rip on your mountain bike and are looking for a site close to hills, ridges and challenging trails, Runnis Meadow Camping might just tick all of those boxes. Sitting on the banks of the River West Onny, close to the Welsh border, this family-friendly site has easy access to cycling and walking trails within the spectacular Shropshire Hills. The rugged landscape of Stiperstones National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive), an area of quartzite rock formations, can be explored on foot or by bike. Keep an eye out for red kites and skylarks while you’re there. Walkers can also tackle Offa’s Dyke Path, which follows the English-Welsh border, and Corndon Hill (both 10 minutes’ drive), while mountain-bikers might like to sample the routes in the Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd (half an hour). In terms of facilities, the site has fresh water on tap, plus showers and a toilet block. There are firepits for hire and bags of logs to buy, and barbecues are allowed. For provisions, you can head into the town of Bishop’s Castle (10 minutes), which also has numerous restaurants and takeaways. There are also several good pubs nearby that would make good rest stops on your walk or bike ride.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The site is simple and lovely. Clean facilities, hot showers, large pitches. Bev and Simon are brilliant hosts. There is no phone reception at all so be prepared to go cold turkey with any technology addiction. The kids loved it as they were able to see and hear various animals (owls, woodpeckers, etc.) and the star gazing at night is stunning. Will definitely come back!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Very friendly and helpful owners, large site so plenty of space between units. Excellent shower and toilets which were kept very clean. Lovely location which gave us excellent access for cycling (main reason for trip) and a challenging walk on the 5th due to storm Anthony!

Disliked: no phone/internet signal on O2

Local attractions

The remains of an Iron Age fort are not the only draw at Roundton Hill National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive). This Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is also a haven for bats (who roost in disused lead mines), lizards and butterflies, plus birds such as yellowhammers and woodpeckers. Had enough of grilling your own meals? A thriving dining scene awaits in Ludlow (40 minutes). For a small market town, Ludlow has a surprising amount of award-winning restaurants, plus traditional pubs and deli shops selling local specialities. If you visit in September, you might also catch the food festival, which takes place inside the medieval castle. In addition to its castle and cathedral, Shrewsbury (40 minutes) is known for the Quarry, a garden stretching along the River Severn. There is plenty to do here besides admiring colourful flower beds and relaxing on the lawn: National Cycle Route 81 skirts the water, you can hire canoes, or let the kids tire themselves out at the Quarry Splash Park.
