  • Small and friendly meadow site near the Shropshire Hills
  • Within 10 minutes' walk of Much Wenlock
  • Campfires allowed: logs and kindling available on site
Good times for all ages can be anticipated at Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping near Wenlock Edge in Shropshire: if you want a peaceful and relaxed setting with stacks of space for the kids to let off steam, this family-friendly place will tick all your holiday boxes. The big draw here is the friendly vibe from amiable owners and seasoned campers Claire and Carol, who'll be seen on site keeping everything shipshape (and sorting out logs and kindling for your evening campfire). The modern facilities extend to showers and toilets with underfloor heating, hair dryers and heaters, as well as a laundry room. Other topping factors are the big and safe natural area for kids to run around in away from the main site, and the closeness of Withies to activities of all sorts, including hikes around the Shropshire Hills, industrious visits to Ironbridge and its museums, and mooching around Shrewsbury, under half an hour's drive away. Withies is set in six acres of grassy meadow on Wenlock Edge near the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's a 10-minute walk to the historic market town of Much Wenlock and its visitor centre, traditional shops and a satisfying selection of pubs and restaurants.

What customers say

This is a clean, secure, and well-maintained site with excellent facilities, particularly the heated toilet and shower blocks. It offers stunning views and is conveniently located a short walk from Much Wenlock. Many guests praise the friendly and helpful owners and the peaceful atmosphere. Some pitches are on a slope, requiring levelling ramps. While most found the facilities superb, a few mentioned issues with water pressure or blockages. A lack of Wi-Fi was noted by some.

Chris J.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Ideal spot for Wenlock Edge, open field so we could pick where we wanted close to the power points.
Toilets look like new and have luxury underfloor heating which was really nice when showering.
Cold and showery when we went so there was only one other van on site so it was quiet.
Plenty of options for walks from the site along Wenlock Edge avoiding the road.
Grant helped us set up and had plenty of useful advice for where to go from the site and what to do. He keeps the site in great condition.
Would go back again if in the area.

Disliked Didn't find any wifi but that didn't impact our stay.

Would definitely visit again.

Liked Lovely, friendly greeting on arrival. Very nice facilities, with a warm toilet & shower block.
Nice 20 minute footpath walk into the town.

Liked Toilet block was heated.

Disliked No WiFi. 20 minute walk into Much Wenlock. No public transport. Not even taxis. A deserted feel about the place. To be fair we did go in January but I didn’t expect it to feel unloved and deserted. Paid for 2 nights left after 1. It’s probably a totally different site in the summer.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Lots of space, big skies, firepits available, wonderful underfloor heating in the ablutions block, so toasty on your feet, and a dry floor! Appreciated the washing up area for the kettle to make a brew and fill a hot water bottle; It was -1⁰C! Neat and tidy everywhere. Close to a B road, but very quiet overnight, got a great night's sleep. The town is a short walk away with some very nice pubs and shops. We recommend walking via the lane from the top of the site, but can be muddy.

Local attractions

Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping is in prime position for Shropshire's country, town and historic attractions, from its setting near the Shropshire Hills and within walking distance of town. Much Wenlock is between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth, with the Ironbridge Gorge and the town of Telford to the north-east. Within a few minutes' walk is the limestone escarpment of Wenlock Edge, a Site of Special Scientific Interest running for over 19 miles between Craven Arms and Much Wenlock. It includes the marked trail of the Shropshire Way, the bridle path of the Jack Mytton Way, and eccentric structures like the tower Flounder's Folly, which many walks around the area pass. The Ironbridge Gorge Museums should entice even the most reluctant of small Shropshire holidaymakers: this UNESCO World Heritage Site has 10 museums telling the tale of Britain's Industrial Revolution, including the Blists Hill Victorian Town and Enginuity, an interactive design and technology centre with shows and workshops. Also make time for a trip on the spectacular Severn Valley Railway, on its 16-mile route through the Severn valley and along the River Severn for much of the way. The track runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster; alight nearby at Ironbridge Level Crossing, or nine miles from Withie at Bridgnorth. County capital Shrewsbury is 13 miles away, and the market town of Ludlow within 23.
