  • Small, peaceful site with outstanding scenery in a countryside setting
  • Spacious dog-friendly pitches a 20-minute drive from the Meres
  • Vintage bikes for hire; afternoon teas and pizzas available on site
Fancy some outstanding scenery? Then pull on your boots and make your way towards Abbey Green Farm, a peaceful site in the unchanging Shropshire countryside: they’ll even rent you a 1940s bicycle so you can explore it in proper style. The spacious pitches are dog-friendly and have access to excellent, clean facilities including a shared under-cover seating area. Adding to the stillness of the countryside, the well-tended and classically English gardens attract a variety of birds and insects to the site: how about taking it all in over afternoon tea served on your pitch as you admire the Shropshire countryside...? Other foodie options include afternoon teas and farmhouse pizzas – again served to your pitch and freshly made to order. If you have an urge for DIY dining, barbecues are allowed on site and there are shops and supermarkets in nearby Wem and Whitchurch, 10 and 20 minutes’ drive away. Alternatively, get your best tweed knickerbockers on and cycle the two miles to the Bull and Dog pub for local ales and hot fresh food.

What customers say

Guests love this tranquil, small campsite for its spotless, hotel-grade washrooms and welcoming, accommodating owners. Pitches are neat and level. Popular extras: tasty homemade pizzas and cream teas brought to your spot. Downsides: rural access lanes can be narrow; site may get boggy. Limited kids' entertainment.

Tracey B.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Bathrooms! I’ve never seen bathrooms like them on a campsite, in fact they were nicer than some hotels I’ve stayed in. Three spacious bathrooms with a shower, toilet, sink, big mirror, cute wooden towel rails, plants, beautifully tiled and spotlessly clean. There was also another toilet and the washing up area in the same out building, which would be great in less pleasant weather as it was indoors and had heating. Lots of information and maps in there too.

There were a few pieces of good quality play equipment for younger children and a nice area to walk the dog.

The site is small and nicely laid out with ample sized, flat pitches that are hedged for privacy. It was very hot when we were there and the homemade ice cream from Rose was delicious, she even had a vegan option which was lovely and thoughtful.

It’s obvious from the care and attention they put into the site that Rose and Phillip really want their guest to enjoy their stay. I was greeted on arrival by Phillip who showed me round and was very pleasant. Rose was out when we phoned her to order our ice creams but as soon as she was back she came over to check what flavours we wanted and brought them straight over. I also heard her mentioning to another guest that they’d planted trees to provide shade for guests.

There was a bit of a query about our booking but Rose was so nice clarifying it, again, lovely, considerate customer service. They also seem to be very eco conscious with excellent recycling facilities and could only use green loo fluid, which you could buy from them.

Disliked Nothing, it was perfect!

No reflection on the site itself, which as I say was perfect, but not sure about what was within walking distance as we didn’t really look.

We only ventured out for our tea on one night and although it was only just under 2 miles we drove because it was so hot. I don’t think I’d have fancied walking though as it’s a narrow, winding road with no pavements. Would be fine for cycling though.

Liked We had a fantastic stay at the campsite and were really impressed with the facilities and overall experience. The pizza delivery service was a brilliant touch – hot, fresh, and super convenient after a long day. The indoor washing-up area was clean and practical, especially handy during unpredictable weather. We also appreciated the flat, well-maintained pitches which made setting up camp a breeze. There were plenty of fun activities to keep the kids entertained, which made the trip even more enjoyable for the whole family. We’d definitely recommend this site and look forward to returning!

Local attractions

Whixall Nature Reserve, a 20-minute drive away, is one of the last few lowland raised bogs left in the British Isles and as such it’s home to a menagerie of birdlife along with some rather prehistoric sights, such as carnivorous sundew, adders (wear your boots) and six-inch water-skating raft spiders. The nearby Meres – lakes and wetlands formed at the end of the Ice Age – are all between 20 and 25 minutes away and make for fine walks and nature spotting: birdwatchers come from all over the country to Wood Lane Nature Reserve, next to Ellesmere, to spot avocets, lapwings and sandpipers. It's around an hour to the Shropshire Hills' Carding Mill Valley for yomps up heather-blanketed slopes, waterfalls and views towards the Black Mountains. Alternatively, report to Llangollen (45 minutes) for rides on the steam railway and down the canal, and it's a similar distance to walk the ‘stream in the sky’, otherwise known as the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. If you’re more into country houses, visit the eccentric tangle of statues, grottoes, bridges and tunnels created by various owners of Hawkstone Park Follies (15 minutes), or wander the 640 acres of country surrounding 18th-century Attingham Park, dotted with Iron Age and Roman ruins, half an hour away.
