- Simple site in an apple orchard a five-minute drive from Tenbury Wells
- Ludlow 15 minutes’ drive; National Trust – Berrington Hall 20 minutes
- Firewood and charcoal for sale; firepits; a half-hour walk from pubs
The spectacular countryside of Worcestershire and Shropshire is within your grasp when you stay at Knotted Roots Orchard. This peaceful spot (with nicely spread out pitches among native wildflowers) sits on an organic apple orchard surrounded by gentle hills. Speaking of which, both the Shropshire Hills National Landscape and the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve are about 20 minutes’ drive away – and that’s your not-so-subtle cue to pack your hiking boots and poles.
The site is blissfully quiet (except for the twit-twooing owls at night) but not remote: Tenbury Wells is just under a mile away, and that means that supermarkets, butchers, greengrocers and any other shop you might need during your stay can be reached within a five-minute drive (or a half-hour walk). Restaurants, too (and pubs), if the idea of tending to the barbecue doesn’t appeal. However, if it does appeal, there are firepits around the site (and a pizza oven, too, though you should book that in advance), and firewood and home-made charcoal for sale.
The simple facilities are well maintained, with a composting toilet, a shower and a washing-up area, plus picnic tables.

Route directions
Enter the postcode WR15 8LQ on your satnav; it will bring you just past the gateway (on your left as you come up the hill from the housing estate). On the roadside, you will see a wooden sign that reads ‘Adams Orchard’ and a double set of farm gates and the sign for Knotted Roots Eco-Stay.
The gates are not locked. The chain has a carabiner clip to keep it closed to keep the animals in and away from the road. Undo the clip, pull your vehicle in, then close the gate behind you, please.
Parking is 30 metres on the right-hand side as you enter the site.
Please check yourself and your guests in. The self check-in book is in the site office shed, next to the parking area.

Local attractions
In Ludlow (15 minutes’ drive), the imposing red sandstone remains of a medieval castle stand on the banks of the River Teme. The grounds now host events such as food festivals, live music concerts and open-air cinema. A lively market takes place four days a week in Castle Square.
The gardens of National Trust – Berrington Hall (20 minutes) are known as the last landscaping project by Capability Brown. Wander through the pleasure grounds and then on to the parkland, with wildflower meadows and a small, deep pond that’s home to several species of dragonfly.
If you want to treat your tweenagers to a special afternoon, head to Anchors Away Soft Play & Cafe (20 minutes), which has helter-skelter slides, a huge ball pit and a sports court for shooting hoops or kicking a football. Then, it’s on to Cadbury World (an hour), on the outskirts of Birmingham, with chocolate-based adventure quests and a have-a-go chocolate-making area.
