Camping field

  • Very peaceful camp site with only red kites and rabbits around.
  • A 30-minute drive to Ludlow; 15 minutes from Tenbury Wells shops
  • Peaceful grass pitches on a hilltop site, with real-ale pubs nearby
If you’re after total peace and quiet, this could be the spot for you. Hanley Orchards is a small and friendly wild camping site in the little village of Hanley Child in Worcestershire – and well-behaved dogs are welcome too. If you potter around quietly on site, you’ll probably catch sight of the resident red kite circling overhead. With glorious views out across the Teme Valley from the hilltop camping field, you’ll really get that off-grid, alone in nature vibe (although a toilet block is part of the deal too). Out and about exploring the Teme Valley (there are routes for walkers, cyclists and drivers), you’ll be rewarded with magnificent views across to the Welsh Marches and the rugged hill of Hay Bluff. There are cute, half-timbered towns like Ludlow to explore, and an abundance of defence castles along the Welsh borderlands to investigate. Secluded Hanley Orchards may be, but it’s actually only 10 minutes’ walk from the village with its selection of excellent foodie pubs, one with a microbrewery producing Worcestershire real ales. At 15 minutes' drive, the market town of Tenbury Wells is your closest bet for shopping, with delis and fishmongers as well as a decent-sized supermarket.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely site with beautiful views (even with the almost non-stop rain!) Facilities are basic but everything you'd need from a semi-wild type site - flushing toilet, sink with hot water and a shower. Was also easy to find and we pretty much had the site to ourselves which was an added bonus! Price was also an absolute bargain

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Amazing views, quiet, and lots of space. Surrounded by wildlife. We weren't after much. It has a toilet and shower., facilities are minimal, but we weren't after fancy and they suited the trip well. Remember to take toilet roll just in case. Very relaxed atmosphere and looking forward to coming back

Disliked: The weather, but that can't be helped.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really lovely site with the most amazing views. The farmer/owner was very welcoming and friendly. Clean toilet and shower facilities. Yes there is only one toilet and shower but we didn't find this a problem at all The shower was lovely and warm. Not sure what previous problems were but you only need to turn the gas on not touch the shower unit and all will work perfectly.

Gordon T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Not a lot really, site is a bit remote, left it late to book anything so limited choices.

Disliked: When we arrived the owner was not on site, took 3/4 attempts to get hold of him to find out which pitch we were on, I informed him of what I had done to get our hook up and he said it was fine until someone else returned later that night. Toilet is a shed with a single toilet with a single shower in the same shed, and people were washing their dishes there too, not enough facilities for the size of the site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The views from the pitch were breathtaking and the sunset over the hills was amazing.

Disliked: Bank holiday weekend the site could have done with more toilets than just one, had to queue morning and night to use it.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: A beautiful location with amazing views. Very peaceful. We pitched up on the overflow field and pretty much had the field all to ourselves. Reasonably priced. Toilet waste clean. There is electric hook up if needed.

Disliked: Only one toilet with shower inside to share amongst all guests so not ideal. Would have been better if the shower and toilet were seperated so that toilet isn't occupied while people are showering. Also another toilet would be helpful.

Local attractions

If you've brought the dog, the National Trust-owned Brockhampton (20 minutes’ drive) has wonderful walks (lovely in spring when the bluebells are out), while Witley Court and Gardens is a spectacular ruin surrounded by formal plantings and woodland paths. It’s also worth checking out Ludlow (30 minutes), with a half-timbered, medieval town centre packed by pubs and restaurants, and riverside Bewdley (25 minutes) has pretty Georgian houses, traditional pubs and arty shops overlooking the Severn. Here, you can jump on a steam train for an expedition on the Severn Valley Railway between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. You’ve had your fun, so treat the kids to theirs. You can’t go wrong with the high wires at Go Ape Wyre Forest (20 minutes) or spending the day at West Midland Safari Park (45 minutes), spotting lions and zebras in drive-through compounds and riding coasters in the family-friendly Adventure Theme Park. Another hit with the kids might well be the annual Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb (15 minutes), if you’re here in August.
