  • Family-run smallholding in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape
  • Spectacular views over Wenlock Edge and surrounded by walking trails
  • Barbecues and firepits welcome; friendly dogs permitted on a lead
At Walnut Cottage Caravan Park, a peaceful family-run site 10 minutes’ drive from the small town of Much Wenlock in Shropshire, finding the dream getaway doesn’t have to be a tough nut to crack. Nine miles from Wenlock Edge and surrounded by the meadows and woodlands of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, Walnut Cottage is a paradise for ramblers and adventurers. Heaps of walking routes, cycling routes and riding trails – many of which are part of the Shropshire Way circular – crisscross the area, so pull on those walking boots, don your bike helmet or climb into the saddle and explore. For the little legs struggling to keep up, a play park back on site will buoy moods – let the kids burn off some energy on the swings, climbing frame and trampoline (or in the toddlers' area if they're still mini). Feeling peckish? Fire up the barbecue and pile it high with supplies from the convenience store in Much Wenlock, then tuck in by the campfire. Friendly dogs are welcome on site, so don’t forget to toss Rex a bone – just make sure he’s leashed first. There is no wifi on site.

What customers say

This is a beautiful, quiet, and secure campsite with spacious pitches. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally clean and modern toilet and shower facilities. The owner, Wayne, is frequently mentioned as being friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The site offers a pleasant play area for children and a dog exercise field. Some guests noted that the approach lanes can be narrow, and a few mentioned the number of signs around the site. A new play park is planned for installation.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Really lovely site, friendly welcome by Wayne who was going to collect a takeaway away and asked us if we would like one so he collected one for us too. Site is spotless and well kept with beautiful views over Wenlock Edge and county surrounding it.
Toilets and showers were absolutely spotless. Pitches had plenty of room and were hardstanding. We really enjoyed our lovely peaceful weekend. I would highly recommend this beautiful site and definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing at all

Lorna B.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches
Wayne was friendly, straight forward and helpful
Dog friendly with small off lead area which makes the whole thing nicer for the dogs
Clear site rules
Secure setting with gates
Play area for kids- yes some parts look tired but as long as it’s safe I’m happy and the kids are happy
Clean and tidy toilets and showers
Heated toilet and shower area
Well maintained
Nice and small
Quiet area- no road noise as on a country lane
Option of a take away on a weekend

Disliked Nothing, had a great stay.
Maybe consider more benches that can be moved between hard standing pitches but that’s a suggestion- not a fault

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely site, pitches are very spacious with even a grass bit to play on & not too close to other neighbours.
The site is beautiful and is kept very clean & tidy!
Wayne the owner is great, really friendly & he couldn’t do more for you.
There are animals on the site, a great sized play park & quirky decor which is a nice touch too!
The facilities are the BEST that we’ve seen, really clean, warm and the showers are fantastic!
The location is a little remote but not too bad if you have a car to drive out in.
Would absolutely stay again, it’s a really peaceful site!
The electric is paid for on exit and is paid via cash - not too expensive either!

Local attractions

This part of Shropshire is brimming over with history. Start with an exploration of the ruins and reconstructions at the Wroxeter Roman city, Viriconium, 15 minutes’ drive from Walnut Cottage Caravan Park, then jump forward a thousand years or so for something more recent: at the birthplace of the industrial revolution in Ironbridge Gorge, 20 minutes away, wander through Blists Hill Victorian Town, learn about the history of iron in the Coalbrookdale Museum and cross the first cast-iron bridge in the world. There are plenty of stately homes and (formerly) impregnable fortresses nearby: the 13th-century Stokesay Castle is 30 minutes from Walnut Cottage, and the spectacular Attingham Park, Wilderhope Manor and Benthall Hall are all within 20 minutes of the site. The local towns are no slouches either: Church Stretton, the only town within the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, dates back to Norman times; Much Wenlock is home to a precursor to the modern Olympic Games, and the Wenlock Olympian Games are still held every year; and Shrewsbury was the birthplace of the Origin of Species’ Charles Darwin. For a break from history, hire a raft for a tour at Ironbridge Gorge, take to the slopes at the snowboarding and skiing centre in Telford, or get muddy at Severn Valley Quad Trekking, all within 35 minutes of Walnut Cottage.
