  • Adults-only site steps from the Shropshire Union Canal
  • Alderford Lake five minutes' drive; Market Drayton 25 minutes
  • Canalside for dog walks; on-site fishing and a café
If you had thoughts on an ideal setting for a hol between England and Wales, Hadley Park might well be it. It's in the Shropshire countryside on the border with Wales, next to the Shropshire Union Canal, and a handsomely scenic walk from Whitchurch, Shropshire's oldest market town. Hadley Park is a family-owned and run site that's set up for adults only. It has a small pond where guests can fish for a small fee per rod (maximum of two rods), a big sundeck overlooking the pond, and a fully licensed on-site café serving fresh local produce. You can also have your hair smartened up in the Hadley Park salon: just enquire when booking using the details in your booking confirmation email. Amenities include a launderette and a washing-up area; there's also a chemical disposal point, and a modern well-kept toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. The park is adults-only and welcomes well-behaved dogs. A service station with fast food and coffee outlet is 400 yards away.

What customers say

This adults-only campsite is praised for its excellent, clean, and warm facilities, including showers and toilets. Its prime location beside the Llangollen Canal offers pleasant walks to Whitchurch.

Pool view non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Everything . Cafe was lovely . Staff lovely. I’ll defo be visiting again. Very quiet site close to the canal for walks.

Disliked Directions to where I needed to park up, I was sent instructions for tents. I worked it out though . Maybe they need a separate email for tents and motorhomes . If your in a motor home etc you need to go to the left of the cafe not the right 😀

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Pitch size was decent, only had the option of a serviced pitch. The toilet block and dishwashing area were both very clean.
Access to the canal where you could walk along one side as the opposite side is private moorings.

Disliked Could maybe route the path from the huts to the toilet block a bit better as the people in the huts kept walking through our pitch to use the facilities. The seasonal vans (I presume), at the entrance are looking tired and dirty and this is the first impression you will have as you enter the site.

The Waterside shepherd's hut

Liked The hut was lovely. Very clean and tidy with all the essentials. Just take a cool bag and ice blocks if you’re using fresh milk.
The on-site toilets/showers were kept extremely clean and tidy and it was nice to have the music on in there.
Dawn the host was lovely and very welcoming and we had some amazing breakfasts in the onsite cafe. This place is amazing value for money and I would definitely recommend it.

Disliked Not really a dislike but just be prepared for very poor mobile coverage as the hut does not receive WiFi.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will definitely be back.

The Kestrel camping pod

Liked Such a great place for a holiday. We hired Kite & Kestral for a week. Super clean & perfect for us. In fact, I rebooked for another weeks holiday while I was there.
Dawn is a delight, the perfect host.
There were 2 single beds, a bedside table, charged side-light, & a couple of chairs. The facilities block was very clean.
The fridge/freezer is a great bonus - very helpful for campers (freezing ice blocks etc). There's even a kettle & microwave.
The location is well placed for canal walks, or even into Whitchurch where the architecture is stunning! If you have a car it's perfect for visiting Ellesmere, Llangollen & the Pontcysyllte aqueduct.

Disliked There's nothing to dislike.
Some people mentioned the noise of the road, it's more of a background/ white noise, & it's only noticeable during rush hour. Overnight it's very peaceful.
My only tiny suggestion would be to change the toilet seats to something more fixed. I don't think the quick-release seats are made for so many bottoms so kept slipping sideways!

Local attractions

Staying close to home from Hadley Park, the old Shropshire town of Whitchurch is less than a mile away, and the walks of the Sandstone Trail as well as the hacks of the Bishop Bennet Way are easily accessible via the Shropshire and Union Canal on site. Elsewhere, several famed Shropshire and Cheshire sights are within 20 miles of the park, like Chester Cathedral and the city's Roman ruins and amphitheatre; Chester Zoo and Chester Racecourse; the fab follies of Hawkestone Park, and the llamas, alpacas and 50 acres of greenery of Cholmondeley Castle Gardens. Nearby Shrewsbury is famed for its annual flower show and for its Darwin Trail commemorating the life and work of evolution dude Charles Darwin who was born in the town. More modernly, a good range of plays are held at the new Severn Theatre and several riverside pubs and restaurants are around at which to while the night away. The bars, cafés and independent shops of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Llangollen are within driving distance: other top town picks are a picnic in Riverside Park, a stroll along Victoria Promenade, and a steam straight ahead on the Llangollen Railway.
