Small family-run caravan park on a farm close to the Welsh border
A 25-minute drive from Shrewsbury and 45 minutes from Ironbridge
Jacuzzi, play area, snooker, games room and fishing available on site

It’s all about the chilled-out times at Bank Farm Caravan Park, a small, family-run site on a farm just next to the Welsh border. At the foot of the Breiddens with Wales on one side and Shropshire on the other, this site looks to the south, meaning morning views are filled up with valleys and mountains. Of course, you’ll also have your pick of attractions on either side, from Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive) to Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Ironbridge (45 minutes). Now for your neighbours… Bank Farm is a small working farm with sheep and cattle, where the family has added their tender touch to the site for well over 80 years, resulting in a reel of activities. So, you might want to make the most of the play area, games room, football pitch and snooker room (this last one’s for adults only). Close by there is a local real ale pub which is accessed with less than 10 minutes' walk along an enclosed footpath and serves good homemade food. For a proper pamper session, you might want to head to the jacuzzi after an amble around the local woodlands – these trees are packed with wildlife and the occasional wild deer roaming through, so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. And for some downtime by the water, there’s also fishing on site. When it comes to the basic stuff, the facilities have got it under control. There are two utility blocks on site, one with a specific family room, and there’s a laundry room for you to tend to any grubby clothes.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Amazing campsite! 10/10 would book again. Even before we arrived, Gill was quick to answer any queries we had. Once we arrived, Dave showed us to our pitch and helped us to level it with planks provided the site. He gave us information about the local area and all the facilities on the site. Gill also checked in on us a few hours later. Nothing was too much trouble. Facilities were very clean. Fresh water taps and electric points were well situated through the park. They were also gracious enough to let us have visitors which included two dogs. We made use of the jacuzzi which you have to book direct with Gill, who explained how everything worked. Lots of activities to do for all the family, including a play park for kids. Thank you Gill and Dave for a fantastic stay.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Dave and Gill were amazing hosts nothing was too much trouble. They checked in with us daily giving advice on the local area and places to visit. The site was immaculate, grass cut and flower gardens tidy. A fishing lake and ornamental pools. Showers and toilets were clean and a pleasure to use. The kids loved the sheep and chickens. The play area was great with plenty to do and a set of goal nets for the traditional game of footie where Dads and kids would mix together to play. Great family atmosphere all round. There was a games room with table top football, air hockey and snooker table we had many family tournaments in there over our stay. There was an information room with leaflets, jigsaws and books you could borrow too. The Jacuzzi we didn't book this time but next time we will give it a go. We can't wait to book to go to this wonderful gem of a site. We've been caravanning for over 10 years and can honestly say this is one of the best if not the best we've stayed on.

Local attractions

Back to the older ages… there’s many a trip far, far down memory lane around here, beginning with Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive). This National Trust castle and country house hark all the way back to medieval times. Fast forward a fair few years and there’s a Tudor centre, museums and the home of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury (25 minutes) or the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes) for an old-school steam train trip. For an open-air museum experience, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge (45 minutes) will send you through everything from gorges to Victorian towns and over the world’s first cast-iron bridge. But, how about mucking into farm life headfirst too? There are four museums including world war trenches, a Victorian school and an Iron Age Roundhouse to bring to life the past at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (35 minutes), as well as farm animal activities and play areas. Where else to look to? Well, there’s the walled cathedral city of Chester (an hour and 10 minutes) or the Welsh coast (an hour and a half), and Lake Vyrnwy (50 minutes) is a good shot for scenic shooting, mountain biking and horse riding sessions, or watersports.
