  • Peaceful 10-acre wild site with gorgeous views in the Shropshire Hills
  • A 10-minute walk to the Long Mynd; 20 minutes' drive to Ludlow
  • Pick your own pitch; village pub and café within walking distance
Choices, choices… it’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup at Mowbray Meadow, so you can take a stroll around and settle down with whichever view takes your fancy. And what views they are – this 10-acre site is in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with 360-degree views over the surrounding countryside. One thing you won’t have to factor in when selecting your spot is the ground quality – the pitching area is all flat and level, so setting up should be straightforward enough. Composting toilets and showers are available to guests, and you’re welcome to build fires to keep toasty in the evenings as long as you buy fuel on site (no foraging in the undergrowth for sticks, thanks – it’s very disturbing for the wildlife). Speaking of wildlife, you may well spot various beasts around the place during your stay. Red kites frequently circle overhead and you may hear a woodpecker tapping in the trees on a summer day. To see more of the locals, take a walk over to the nearby Long Mynd, where wild ponies roam. That’s just one of the places you could visit for a day out nearby – there’s also plenty to explore around Ludlow or with trips to the likes of Stokesay Castle and Acton Scott Historic Working Farm. The local towns of Church Stretton and Craven Arms are both less than 10 minutes away by car for cafés, pubs and shops. Even closer is the village of Marshbrook – it's about five minutes' walk away and has a pub, a bike hire place and a café that does a very fine cooked breakfast.

What customers say

A peaceful, back-to-basics break in a stunning natural setting. Friendly hosts, spacious pitches, and great for walkers. Basic facilities, but clean. Perfect for a wilder camping trip, though a bit of traffic noise and muddy access can occur. Campfires welcome.

Bridget L.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked There were wonderful 360 degree views! Plus… short walk to a really nice pub/restaurant (and you can order in advance to collect steaks to cook back at the site - which was delicious!), super walking from the site, drive to many attractions in the area, very friendly owners and much much space to roam and pitch. Very dog friendly. I was self contained so didn’t use the shower, which was a little way from the main pitching area, but used the composting toilets which I found to be clean and well stocked with loo roll. I would recommend this site if you like basic but adequate and clean facilities but place greater importance on a site surrounded by natural beauty and peace - but hurry before it gets too popular as the space was one of its big pluses for me!!

Bell tent

Liked We stayed in the bell tent for a long weekend, the bell tent was perfect it was a good size and clean. It had everything you could need, beds were comfy and quilts were warm. Nice table area of which we sat and played games at night. The bell tent is at the top of the second field , it is very private and has beautiful scenic views. A large fit pit was also in situ and was good to sit round at night. The toilets
and shower were a good walk away so it was a bit far in the middle of the night to walk when you needed the toilet which wasn’t ideal but this was stated in the site details so we did know to expect this prior to our visit. Toilets were clean and always had toilet paper, only our personal preference we would have preferred working toilets but understand the site is aimed to be more eco friendly. Overall we had a lovely stay at the site and can see that it is perfect for people who would like to get back to nature.

Disliked No hot water at the sinks ment we had to boil the kettle each time to wash up cooking utensils.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked The site was beautiful, the views were amazing! Red kites flew over the site each day. The welcoming to the site of the most friendliest geese, ducks and cat was so lovely!
The site has two fields to choose from, there are two compost loos and a shower. The shower is great!
Church Stretton is a few minutes drive away.
A very chilled and relaxed stay ... if you enjoy the more wilder side of camping this is perfect!

Local attractions

Might you possibly have come to this area for a walk or few? It’s a very fine choice, as the Shropshire Hills are renowned for their hiking potential. Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd are the most well-known spots (and you can walk to the Long Mynd in 10 minutes or so), but there’s plenty more out there too. A good place to start for ideas is in Craven Arms (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drop in on the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. While you’re there, take a look at Stokesay Castle as well, and browse through the collections at the Land of Lost Content museum. For other days out, you can rent bikes in the local village or head to Church Stretton (10 minutes) for a round of golf or a dip in Carding Mill Reservoir. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm (five minutes) is a good pick for a kid-friendly day out; meanwhile, Ludlow (20 minutes) is an appealing prospect for grownups, with its independent food shops and restaurants making particularly tasty options.
