General
- Pub site near Ledbury in rural Herefordshire
- Five minutes’ drive to Newbridge Farm Park and Weston’s Cider Mill
- Restaurant, bar and loos in the pub; shops 10 minutes’ drive
Pitching up at a pub – now there's a fine idea. Tucked away in the rural village of Much Marcle, near Ledbury in Herefordshire, Shepherd’s Gate is a very handy spot.
It's a foodie pub with lots going on, with a welcoming vibe to it and also serving great food. From board games to live bands, painting classes to yoga, you’ll nearly always find something going on there that you can join in with.
The site is thoroughly dog- and family-friendly, with lots of walking opportunities – and of course the chance to turn off the tech, take time to appreciate the countryside and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies bringing colourful sunsets.
Simple facilities include ice-pack freezing and free use of the pub loos. The site is easily accessible from the main road from Ross-on-Wye, and less than 10 minutes’ drive from the historic market town of Ledbury, where you can pick up bits for the barbecue or put your feet up in local cafés.
Open from 02/09/2023 to 08/10/2023

Local attractions
Historic Ledbury (10 minutes’ drive) is a charming town with half-timbered buildings lining cobbled streets. Today they are lined with art galleries, designer shops and gourmet delis. The striking 17th-century market is built on stilts, and there are plenty of little museums to keep you entertained. Ledbury is also the springboard to hiking trails in the Malvern Hills (half an hour).
Kids can have lots of fun hereabout too, with play areas and farm animals to cuddle at Cattle Country Farm Park (50 minutes), and pony rides or treasure hunts at Newbridge Farm Park (five minutes). Track butterflies on marked trails at Haugh Wood Butterfly Trail (15 minutes) or follow the funky sculpture trail in the Forest of Dean (half an hour), where stained-glass installations glitter among the trees.
Fancy sampling some local produce? Why not add a tour of Westons Cider Mill (five minutes) to your stay? You can see where the apples are pressed, fermented and matured into cider, tour the orchards and have the chance to do some serious tasting too.

Good morning,
Thank you for leaving your feedback and I am so so sorry you didn’t get a warm welcome, this is unheard of for us and regularly get commended on our welcome so I’m so sorry! We don’t ‘check in’ as we aren’t a fully fledged campsite and we have everyone’s number plates, so we check these throughout the day/evening. We prefer a relaxed and laid back approach so guests can feel at ease to pitch where they’re comfortable without being put under pressure.
Regarding facilities, it is written clearly on our description what is and isn’t available and when and it’s titled wild camping and priced accordingly. I have however, made it clearer on there that it is a car park as opposed to pitches. So thank you for pointing this out.
You’re absolutely right, we didn’t want you of the rally and that was our mistake so please accept my apologies regarding that.
The grass was long but all of our tent users were made aware of this, our mower broke down last week so we didn’t have the opportunity to sort it, but they were all informed.
And regarding the other motorhome, there was more to that than you may have been aware of, so I’m not going to leave comment on it.
I would like to invite you back on another occasion though, so please contact us directly as our welcome is absolutely something we pride ourselves on.
