  • Small family-run caravan park on a farm close to the Welsh border
  • A 25-minute drive from Shrewsbury and 45 minutes from Ironbridge
  • Jacuzzi, play area, snooker, games room and fishing available on site
It’s all about the chilled-out times at Bank Farm Caravan Park, a small, family-run site on a farm just next to the Welsh border. At the foot of the Breiddens with Wales on one side and Shropshire on the other, this site looks to the south, meaning morning views are filled up with valleys and mountains. Of course, you’ll also have your pick of attractions on either side, from Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive) to Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Ironbridge (45 minutes). Now for your neighbours… Bank Farm is a small working farm with sheep and cattle, where the family has added their tender touch to the site for well over 80 years, resulting in a reel of activities. So, you might want to make the most of the play area, games room, football pitch and snooker room (this last one’s for adults only). For a proper pamper session, you might want to head to the jacuzzi after an amble around the local woodlands – these trees are packed with wildlife and the occasional wild deer roaming through, so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. And for some downtime by the water, there’s also fishing on site. When it comes to the basic stuff, the facilities have got it under control. There are two utility blocks on site, one with a specific family room, and there’s a laundry room for you to tend to any grubby clothes.

Liked Spacious pitch on a beautiful, well kept site. Gill was so friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. She placed us right next to the play area and it was absolutely ideal with little ones. The showers and toilets were very clean. The games room was fun for the eldest (you do have to cross a busy road to get to it but we knew this when booking, it just meant the kids couldn't go across on their own). We didn't use the jacuzzi but we will when we return next time. We really enjoyed our weekend stay and we will definitely be back soon for another mini break. A true family friendly site.

Liked Spacious pitch, family friendly, lovely staff, tasty fresh farm eggs. Amazing jacuzzi. Lovely play area, small games room too.
Highly recommend, we will be back. Family room was a bonus as a single mum with 2 small children.

Disliked If going the jacuzzi or games room it is across a "fast" road. Only minor down point, wont stop me from re booking though.

Liked Just spent 5 days here and absolutely loved it! Have already booked to go back! Peaceful, beautiful views, brilliant location with lots to do around! Friendliest staff who make you feel very welcome from the start! Facilities are some of the cleanest we have been to with 2 new showers currently being installed (although there was always a shower available when we needed one, we never had to wait!) Perfect play area for children of all ages and also lots of well maintained grass areas for children or adults to play! Would 100% recommend.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Stunning caravan park. Fantastic, clean facilities and a great children's play area. Dave was brilliant helping us set up as it was our first time out in the van and also helped start our car when the battery died as we were leaving. Will definitely be back.

Local attractions

Back to the older ages… there’s many a trip far, far down memory lane around here, beginning with Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive). This National Trust castle and country house hark all the way back to medieval times. Fast forward a fair few years and there’s a Tudor centre, museums and the home of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury (25 minutes) or the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes) for an old-school steam train trip. For an open-air museum experience, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge (45 minutes) will send you through everything from gorges to Victorian towns and over the world’s first cast-iron bridge. But, how about mucking into farm life headfirst too? There are four museums including world war trenches, a Victorian school and an Iron Age Roundhouse to bring to life the past at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (35 minutes), as well as farm animal activities and play areas. Where else to look to? Well, there’s the walled cathedral city of Chester (an hour and 10 minutes) or the Welsh coast (an hour and a half), and Lake Vyrnwy (50 minutes) is a good shot for scenic shooting, mountain biking and horse riding sessions, or watersports.
