  • Rural Shropshire Hills escape five minutes from Bishop's Castle
  • Walking, horse riding and mountain biking all nearby
  • Luxury shower block with hairdryers; campers' kitchen and firebowls
Are you up for a countryside stay in a wildlife haven? How about stargazing, mountain biking or horse riding, all in the splendid scenery of the Shropshire Hills? Make your way for all this and more to the scenic site of Woodbatch Camping and Glamping. There are quite a few little touches on this small family-run farm to make stays comfy and easy, from the luxury shower and toilet block with hairdryers, to the campers' kitchen with hot water, fridge freezer, kettle, microwave and toaster, to the most excellent firebowls for guests' use, upcycled from old washing machine drums. And everything's free to use, because Woodbatch Camping and Glamping is just that type of site… Middlebatch is a 17th-century working farm in a wildlife, birdwatching and walking haven in the Shropshire Hills, five minutes' drive from the friendly market town of Bishop's Castle, near Offa's Dyke Path, and in a prime and peaceful locale for hiking, mountain biking and horse riding. There's no light pollution in these parts, so the area is a hit with stargazers too. Run expertly by Mary, the site also has a large disabled-friendly and family shower room as well as recycling facilities and a full breakfast takeaway menu.

Mynd View camping pod

Liked Lovely, quiet, out of the way, farm site camping. My favourite. We've been coming to Woodbatch for years but this was our first time in the Camping Pod. Enjoyed the covered deck with garden furniture. We sat and watched swallows and 2 red kites wheeling overhead.

Disliked I disliked that my stay was so brief but real life calls...

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked wonderful views. Well set out camping field with picnic tables and fire pit at each place.
Facilities were clean and worked v well.
Pitches were level at top and bottom of field.

Disliked We were on cycles and the last drive steeply up gravel was very difficult at the end of a hard day!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Loved it. One of the few places we think we will return to.

Chris S.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fabulous location. Great views and a charming village with several excellent pubs/cafe’s a reasonable (if a bit up and down) walk away
Very good and clean facilities, but otherwise a quiet and not over-developed site
Lots of waking and cycling in the area (popular spots busy on a sunny Sunday)

Disliked Nothing really, the gravel bit of the track to the farm was a bit of a challenge for the tandem (and the ancient van)

Recommend to friends Visit again

Overall an excellent campsite will return.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Clean facilities, remote, quiet location, spacious pitches. Loved the addition of a fire pit and picnic bench. Great for stargazing and generally be left to it. No on site wifi but plenty of signal that you could stream.

Disliked Access is bumpy (but expected given the remote location). A definite slope to the field. Could have benefited from a bit more info on arrival such as how/when to order the breakfast and details on the local area.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Gorgeous view of the sun rising over the hills in the morning! I stayed with my beagle for a night, and there was plenty of space between pitches even with her on long leash, spacious and clean facilities and had a decent movable bowls for campfires. A 30 min drive through beautiful scenery to Stiperstones Ridge and Long Mynd. 😘🐶🍃

Local attractions

This is such an excellent area for all sorts of outdoor activities, and the views and scenery are pretty spectacular too… Woodbatch Camping and Glamping is surrounded by an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways to wander and canter, and is close to Kerry Ridgeway, Offa's Dyke, the Jack Mytton Way, the B.C. Ring and the Long Mynd. The Shropshire Way and the Blue Remembered Hills bridleways pass through the farmyard. Bishop's Castle, dating back to the eighth century and King Offa, is five minutes' drive or about 50 minutes' walk away: there's quite a bit to find out about local history in this locale and along Offa's Dyke, and these days the town has a busy market, large cattle and sheep market, and little shops along the high street selling local produce. Church Stretton, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are all within easy reach, as are quite a few castles and quite a lot more splendid scenery. You could also take a look at Acton Scott Victorian Farm, Blists Hill Victorian Town, the hill of Stiperstones and the aircraft and exhibitions of the RAF base at Cosford.
