  • Shropshire farm site on the Offa's Dyke Path and by the River Teme
  • A 10-minute drive to the Spaceguard Centre; 40 minutes to Elan Valley
  • Stroll along the riverbank to Knighton in 20 minutes
Just next to the Offa’s Dyke Path and on the banks of the River Teme, Panpwnton Farm is about as close to Wales as it’s possible to be without actually being in Wales (although as the border’s just a couple of hundred metres away you can easily flit between the two nations as you wish…) That location makes this a prime pick for anyone making their way along the entirety of the Offa’s Dyke Path – but there’s plenty of walking (and cycling too) to be done nearby for folk who aren’t up for such long-distance ventures. The farm is in the southern stretches of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes' drive from Llanfair Waterdine), where lots of scenic trails await, and you can also try out shorter stretches of Glyndwr’s Way, another major trail on the Welsh side of the border. There’s pretty rural scenery all around the farm, but you’ll not be stranded miles from civilisation – in fact it’s only about a mile to the small town of Knighton for pubs, eateries, shops and a railway station. You can drive down there in five minutes or so, but the favoured way to travel is to stroll along the riverbank for 20 minutes. Barbecues are permitted on site, so stock up on goodies for the grill while you’re in town. A washing-up area is on hand for cleaning up afterwards, and there are hot showers to help you do the same for yourself. There’s no wifi on site, but most guests get decent phone signal, and there are charging facilities to make sure you’ve got plenty of juice to plan your adventures.

What customers say

This quiet riverside campground boasts lovely country views & direct Offa's Dyke access. Guests rave about clean facilities (showers, toilets, fridges, kettles). A short walk to Knighton offers a relaxed vibe with various pitches. A railway line nearby isn't disruptive. Friendly owners & a handy cafe enhance the stay.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely location, very convenient for a pleasant stroll into town. Shower and toilet facilities to a good standard and very handy to have a communal fridge. Also, the addition of the Offa’s Treat van with its tea/coffee, ice-cream and panini on site was very handy.

A great stay for families with a very beautiful short walk in to town.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked Such a great campsite. It is in beautiful countryside and we were right next to the river, allowing for all day long paddling.

The campsite facilities were clean, unfussy and all you needed. The addition of kettles and a fridge and freezer were a really nice touch.

Disliked Nothing!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked This site is very peaceful, even with the train line running by - there's only a handful of trains a day. There's loads of great walks straight from the site. The little onsite cafe serves great snacks, ice creams and hot drinks. We liked that we could choose to pitch wherever we fancied, and went into the large field by the river. Knighton has everything you need, including a selection of cafes, pubs and shops, but most shops are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We'll be back for sure!

Disliked The facilities could do with a little TLC, and it would be useful to have a water tap in the big field so its not such a walk with heavy water bottles, but you get what you pay for!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Greeting us as soon as we arrived on site. Clean toilets and 3 showers, with hot water, are well appreciated. Free to take your green pitch wherever you like. Lot of details added to the communal area: fridge , kettle, sink for washing up, local info. Lit a fire is possible, or rent à bike!

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked I stayed here for one night, with my dog. Our first time camping and it was way better than expected, beautiful walks along the river and the hill, the host so nice and kind.
There is nothing I did not like, there was plenty of space for everybody, granted it was Friday perhaps it’s slightly busier Saturdays but overall a great experience. Facilities were also good and clean. Loved the lights on the bridge as well nice touch.

Disliked A small bridge over the river on the other side to make the toilets even closer for the bigger part of land would make this even better but regardless it is a great place to camp.

Local attractions

As you’ll probably be skipping about either side of Offa’s Dyke, it makes sense to start your trip with a visit to the Offa’s Dyke centre (five minutes’ drive) to find out about the ancient landmark. For other walking trails, head to the Elan Valley or Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (both 40 minutes). For a closer look at the natural world, plan trips to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre (25 minutes) or stop by at the Red Kite Feeding Station (40 minutes) to see these splendid beasts in flight. The Spaceguard Centre observatory (10 minutes) is also worth a visit if you’d like to find out more about the skies overhead. Castle outings are part of the landscape for trips here too – perhaps to the impressive 13th-century fortifications of Stokesay Castle (half an hour) or the art-filled rooms and colourful gardens of Powis Castle and Garden (50 minutes). If you’d rather skip straight to the garden strolls, try Hergest Croft Gardens (25 minutes).
