Pods with a view (added by manager 27 Sep 2022)

Quiet purpose-built camping pods in the Shropshire Hills
Hike for around an hour to reach Carding Mill Valley
Firepit and gas cooker provided; three pubs and lots of trails nearby

It’s pretty darn peaceful at Minton Hill Pods in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just step outside, ready your hiking boots or bicycle and choose from the many sleepy country lanes surrounding this purpose-built camping pod site. From this spot four miles south of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, some tracks will take you all the way to the heather-carpeted plateau. There’s wild swimming there too – a welcome way to cool off after the hour-long walk. Cyclists are a few hundred yards from the Minton Bach mountain bike trail, a well-regarded single-track ride. The Minton Hill Pods are in a remote, small and highly peaceful woodland on a family-run hill farm, down a short, solid stone track and half a mile south of Anglo-Saxon settlement of Minton. Solar panels power the lights and charging points in the pods, which are fully insulated and have room for two adults. Simply stack the beds (bedding is provided) to maximise your space if you’re travelling alone – it’ll be like a single bed or a sofa. Stacking the beds this way also creates more room for chilling out with your book or your travel buddy – although you may well be outside taking advantage of the open firepit and gas cooking facilities that have been provided (sunset meals and stargazing, anyone?) These off-grid pods have plenty of features, including drinking water on tap and access to well-maintained washing-up facilities, flushing toilets and hot showers. There’s firewood available for an additional cost, but please bring any fire lighting equipment, a powerful torch, cutlery, cooking utensils, pans and towels with you. When you’re in search of other sustenance, tasty food and a warm atmosphere can be tracked down at the pub in Marshbrook (15 minutes’ walk) or the two pubs in Little Stretton (half an hour). The market town of Church Stretton (five minutes’ drive) has cafés, a supermarket and more dining out options.

Liked: As someone who avoids busy sites and likes things a bit more wild, the location was idyllic, with a really lovely vibe. The facilities were well maintained and clean, and my 13 year old was appreciative of the solar usb charging point and decent phone signal! Can’t wait to return with a friend or two and book both pods!

Camping pod

Liked: Me and my partner stayed here for one night and it was just lovely! 2 corona beers waiting for us after our walk. We just so happened to have lovely neighbours too :) Shared facilities were super clean, VERY hot shower! Washing up equipment provided with drinking water to the side of a large washing basin. The weather wasn’t the best but the wind breaker and camping chairs were the perfect addition for our toasted marshmallows. USB port with service and 4g!! We will be coming back!

Disliked: We did get lost finding the road (the sign is quite small) but the roads are quite and it is a beautiful location. The shower was almost too hot but maybe because we were so cold! Our key got stuck in the safe but Alison answered her phone straight away and was with us within 5 minutes!

Camping pod

Liked: We had a fabulous 2 days of peace and bliss. The pods had everything we needed. The only thing we took was our clothes and camping plates , cutlery and pans (and food !) and a torch to walk to loo at night. the shower was lovely and hot. Toilet and washing up facilities great. Surround by fields , hills and sheep. We would have had an extra night had the bank holiday weather been a little more like summer. We recommend these pods to anybody after a break from other people ! (There is only 1 Other pod ) great spot of hiking and cycling. We are out in the ragleth and yew tree both lovely.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

From this central Shropshire spot, it’s not tricky to track down attractions from Minton Hill Pods. Take in the countryside from a steam railway, like in the old days, by joining the Severn Valley Railway from its Bridgnorth station (40 minutes’ drive). Then, march on towards Stokesay Castle (25 minutes), where one of the richest men in England lived in the 13th century. Museums can be tracked down in Ironbridge (40 minutes), medieval Powis Castle (50 minutes) or the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (10 minutes). As for peaceful sightseeing and pottering around, Ludlow (25 minutes) and Shrewsbury (35 minutes) are excellent contenders for such activities. When you’re not out biking or hiking the Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, there’s also a popular single-track cycling trail through Minton Batch (around 15 minutes’ cycle).
