Dog-friendly campsite on a family farm near Ellesmere in Shropshire
Five minutes’ drive to boating on The Mere; 35 minutes to Llangollen
Spacious pitches with a shared covered eating area

Space, more space and utter peace are the watchwords at Willenhall Way, a family-run and dog-friendly Shropshire park near Ellesmere and a mere field away from the Welsh border. The owners are pleased to share their slice of scenic countryside, where ultra-large pitches have loads of room between each one for extra privacy. Access from the A495 is clearly signposted, easy and wide. Once on site, all is calm and quiet. The immaculate shower block (with separate ladies' and gents' and accessible facilities, plus an immaculate washing-up room) is on the site of a former piggery, while outside the caravan office guests can get together on the covered verandah to relax, eat and chat amid peaceful views. Your kids can have hours of fun at the leisure area with swings, a watch mound – and calf igloos to use as dens (useful if the weather is not playing ball) – or see how many murals they can spot around the park. Dogs get to share in the fun too. Exercise pets on the tried-and-tested walks leading directly from the park into glorious Shropshire countryside, and make the most of the dedicated doggie shower to clean them up again after any muddy outings. For family adventures, try the circular walking routes of varying lengths, or follow the Shropshire Union Canal towpath for easy-peasy strolls with the kids. There’s plenty for cyclists too, with rural lanes and a generous supply of Shropshire hills close by. And should you have any time to spare, a resident artist holds classes for guests. And if you should wonder how the park got its name, it’s from the Willenhall Herd of dairy cows who graze just across the Welsh border on a neighbouring farm.

Local attractions

Ellesmere (five minutes’ drive) is a busy little town and base for watery adventures on The Mere, a lake that forms part of Shropshire’s mini-lake district. Hire a boat, follow the sculpture trail, feed the swans or follow the all-ability trail around the shoreline. When you’re done with all that activity, find a waterfront pub and chill out amid the glorious views. Pretty Llangollen (35 minutes) has lots to offer water babies too, from horse-drawn or motorised barge adventures over the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to Horseshoe Falls and family walks alongside the River Dee. Sporty types can get busy on Alderford Lake (10 minutes), popular for paddleboarding, wild swimming or challenging romps on the inflatable water course. To up the physical stuff even more, try the treetop rope courses, swings and slides at BeWILDerwood Cheshire. Keen racegoers are catered for as well, with a programme of year-round jump racing at Bangor-on-Dee (both 20 minutes).
