Jenny Knoll Farm Pop-up Campsite

This is a lovely base for some walks or cycle rides – but don’t forget that you’re in the Shropshire Hills, so there are lots of uphill challenges around. Trails start from right outside the farm, with others around Knighton, Hopton Woods and Bury Ditches (all 15 minutes’ drive) or further afield at Stiperstones or National Trust - Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (both 35 minutes). Seeking out a bit of history needn’t involve going far, either – start at the ruins of Clun Castle (five minutes) and Hopton Castle (15 minutes) before seeing the grander Stokesay Castle (20 minutes) or dropping in to the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (20 minutes) to learn about the area’s past and present. Nearby Ludlow (half an hour) has a castle too, and it’s also built a reputation as a foodie destination, with lots of independent shops and eateries, a traditional market and a food festival. You may also fancy a tour of Kerry Vale Vineyard (25 minutes).
