  • Adults-only dog-friendly site on the edge of the Malvern Hills
  • Eastnor Castle 10 minutes’ drive; Great Malvern and Ledbury 15 minutes
  • Dog park and walks from the door; nearest pub within a 10-minute walk
Harbouring dreams of exploring the spectacular landscape of the Malvern Hills as part of a romantic escapade with your significant other? Or perhaps you want to be well positioned to explore three counties (Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire) in one fell swoop? Then you might want to consider The Turbles as your base from which to do so. On the eastern edge of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a five-minute drive (or a half-hour walk) from the village of Welland, this is an adults-only site. No children, then – which makes it blissfully peaceful; well-behaved four-legged friends, however, are welcome. Not only that: they have a designated exercise area for your canine pals to run about in, not to mention plenty of walks starting right at the gate. And while your dog bounds happily by your side, be sure to take in the views of your splendid rural surrounds. Your stroll might take you to the Golden Valley (a half-hour walk), where a pond has resident flocks of ducks and geese; or you might prefer to make a beeline for a local pub (the nearest is within a 10-minute walk) for a restorative pint and some home-cooked food. Speaking of food, you’re welcome to start a barbecue at the site; for provisions, try the well-stocked village store in Welland, or head to Great Malvern, Ledbury (both 15 minutes’ drive) or Tewkesbury (20 minutes) for supermarkets and independent shops (plus, of course, restaurants and cafés). Unisex toilet and shower facilities complete the picture at this well-maintained Worcestershire site.

Liked: Quiet, loads of walks locally and a short drive away, we went to the Malvern Hills and then to Eastnor Castle where we walked around the deer park. Pitch was fully serviced; perfect! WiFi was sound too which was good as there wasn’t much if any phone service (not a problem for a getaway).

Disliked: Unfortunately, after a week of mixed weather, the site was very wet. Really not suitable for vans/vehicles as no hard standing pitches.

FHU grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Friendly welcome and despite weather issues affecting the pitches, owners made every effort to accommodate us. The real bonus was the 10 minute walk to a traditional pub. There was a friendly welcome by the owners and customers. The site owners are also the landlords, it’s a real win win for those who like a drink and to leave the car at site. Great location for reaching Ledbury, Upton, Tewksbury and Worcester. We will definitely stay again.

Disliked: Nothing really to dislike, you cannot complain when the owners make a real effort to sort out a suitable pitch due to water issues on the field. Due to our location Wi-Fi didn’t work, but we weren’t on the grass pitch we booked so can’t comment on what it was like there.

Local attractions

If it feels like you’ve been at Eastnor Castle (10 minutes’ drive) before, it might be because you recognise it from its appearances in films and TV shows such as Succession. Dating from the early 1800s, this Georgian property has elegant rooms hung with tapestries and portraits, plus a deer park and a lake. The spa town of Great Malvern is anchored by Priory Park, a genteel area with a Victorian bandstand (come on a Sunday afternoon in summer for a free concert), a pond crossed by a wooden bridge and lots of picnic spaces. If you want to sample the local waters, take a (steep) hike to St Ann’s Well, on the eastern slope of the Malverns, just above the town. The gardens at National Trust – Croome (20 minutes) were Capability Brown’s first complete design. Take a stroll around admiring this 18th-century landscape gardener’s work, then head to the RAF Defford Museum to learn about the development of radar technology during World War II.
