Wild is the way of Windy Corner Campsite on the outskirts of the Shropshire Hills. A calm nature-oriented site with a brook and comfortable facilities, here, hilly walks may be on the horizon – quite literally, as the site has views over Pontesbury Hill (10 minutes’ drive away for the scenic hiking spot). Nature’s at the forefront of this site but that doesn’t mean it compromises on facilities, as there are showers, toilets, dishwashing facilities and a washing machine for those extra-mucky days. You’ll also have access to charging points and fresh water. While there are horses and a pet lamb on the site, birdsong is also a common addition from the animal world. There’s a calm brook and laidback walks directly from the site so that you can get stuck into the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – and Devil’s Chair half an hour’s drive away and Eastridge Wood 20 minutes away. You might want to back up your batteries with some filling food before you set off on your wanders. Handily, the site is around 45 minutes’ walk away from Pontesbury village, where there’s a chemist, shop, butchers and bakery, plus pubs and a Chinese and Indian restaurant so you may either top up your snack store or get a good meal in.
