  • Small and friendly meadow site near the Shropshire Hills
  • Within 10 minutes' walk of Much Wenlock
  • Campfires allowed: logs and kindling available on site
Good times for all ages can be anticipated at Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping near Wenlock Edge in Shropshire: if you want a peaceful and relaxed setting with stacks of space for the kids to let off steam, this family-friendly place will tick all your holiday boxes. The big draw here is the friendly vibe from amiable owners and seasoned campers Claire and Carol, who'll be seen on site keeping everything shipshape (and sorting out logs and kindling for your evening campfire). The modern facilities extend to showers and toilets with underfloor heating, hair dryers and heaters, as well as a laundry room. Other topping factors are the big and safe natural area for kids to run around in away from the main site, and the closeness of Withies to activities of all sorts, including hikes around the Shropshire Hills, industrious visits to Ironbridge and its museums, and mooching around Shrewsbury, under half an hour's drive away. Withies is set in six acres of grassy meadow on Wenlock Edge near the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's a 10-minute walk to the historic market town of Much Wenlock and its visitor centre, traditional shops and a satisfying selection of pubs and restaurants.

What customers say

Lovely, peaceful rural getaway. Praised for new, spotless loos/showers (heated floors!), spacious pitches, fire pits with free wood, and a good kids' play area. Great location, walkable to Much Wenlock with excellent views. Some found pitches sloped & loos/showers might be tight at peak times. Minimal management & no recycling noted.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Good location, easy traffic free walk into Much Wenlock.
No frills campsite, facilities good and not overcrowded as some reviews state.

Disliked All pitches are on a slope. Slight road noise from passing traffic and quiet time not enforced by staff on site meaning music was played by other guests until 1am!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked A lovely, relaxed site with very friendly and helpful owners. The facilities were topnotch and we could just walk out of the back field into woodland and field walks as well as into the nearby town. All very easy going.

Disliked The camping field is slightly sloped so blocks are a must and we bolstered ours further using wood from the camp's timber store which were free.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Good value, spacious site. Toilets and showers were better than some sites I've visited and it was also very handy to have a fridge, kettle and microwave available. Fire pits being available was also a plus. We also went on a great walk directly from the campsite through the adjacent field.

Disliked Minor point but the firewood provided was largely treated (eg. planks and fence posts) so not ideal for cooking with. However, it was easy and cheap to source this in Much Wenlock.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Nice site, easy to find, within walking distance of Much Wenlock.

Disliked Toilet facilities (ladies) were totally inadequate. Only two showers and two lavatory cubicles. Grass all over floor. Toilets were not cleaned over 48 hrs and were very dirty. Water from shower seeped into toilet cubicle. Shower temperature could not be effectively regulated.

No WiFi.

No basic shop. Ran out of milk. Nightmare.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Lovely site, walking distance to much wenlock, fabulous shower and toilet facilities and kitchen was an added bonus, with a microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. Perfect for our 'maiden voyage' in our roof tent. Plenty of walks on the edge

Disliked Slight incline in places, therefore need levellers.

Liked The site was super peaceful. Facilities were spotless when we arrived. Great location for walking into town and a really nice alternative route rather than the road available

Disliked The toilets ran out of toilet paper at one point and the showers flooded the whole block so you had to walk through someone else’s shower water to use the toilet.

Local attractions

Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping is in prime position for Shropshire's country, town and historic attractions, from its setting near the Shropshire Hills and within walking distance of town. Much Wenlock is between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth, with the Ironbridge Gorge and the town of Telford to the north-east. Within a few minutes' walk is the limestone escarpment of Wenlock Edge, a Site of Special Scientific Interest running for over 19 miles between Craven Arms and Much Wenlock. It includes the marked trail of the Shropshire Way, the bridle path of the Jack Mytton Way, and eccentric structures like the tower Flounder's Folly, which many walks around the area pass. The Ironbridge Gorge Museums should entice even the most reluctant of small Shropshire holidaymakers: this UNESCO World Heritage Site has 10 museums telling the tale of Britain's Industrial Revolution, including the Blists Hill Victorian Town and Enginuity, an interactive design and technology centre with shows and workshops. Also make time for a trip on the spectacular Severn Valley Railway, on its 16-mile route through the Severn valley and along the River Severn for much of the way. The track runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster; alight nearby at Ironbridge Level Crossing, or nine miles from Withie at Bridgnorth. County capital Shrewsbury is 13 miles away, and the market town of Ludlow within 23.
