General
- Shropshire countryside park with two fishing lakes
- Views of the south Shropshire Hills and the hills into Wales
- Half an hour's drive from Ironbridge Gorge
Splendid Shrewsbury, historic home to medieval streets, over 660 listed buildings and many a festival – and half an hour's drive from the illustrious World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge.
And splendid Wigmore Lakes, close to all this industrious activity but also a Shropshire countryside site with views of both the south Shropshire Hills and the hills into Wales, to use as a base for peaceful retreats of an evening.
Or just stay on site instead: Wigmore Lakes has two fishing lakes for guests for a small daily rate, to catch carp, tench, roach, bream and other silverfish (one of the lakes is predominantly filled with carp and the other has a complete mix and is often used for matches).
Wigmore Lakes doesn't have a site shop, but a shop/post office is just outside, along with a fish and chip shop for takeaway and a café for breakfast and other meals.
A modern toilet and shower block is available for guests' use.
Wigmore Lakes does accept kids, but doesn't have any facilities for them such as a play area or games.
Open from 11/02/2023 to 01/01/2024
