  • 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.

What customers say

A gem of a site, run by a lovely family who are super friendly and helpful. Pitches are spacious, grounds spotless, and the kids' play area is brilliant. A grand spot for exploring, though a bit of road noise can be heard now and then.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Absolutely amazing place to stay! We recently visited as a family of four, and honestly couldn't have asked for more.
The views were stunning, everything was clean, and the location was perfect with plenty of beautiful walks nearby. The owners were incredibly accommodating, welcoming, and friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

We had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic family run campsite, was greeted on arrival by the lovely owners who honestly cant do enough to make you feel more welcome, gated acsess for security, toilet and shower facilities were exceptionally clean. Great park with swings, slide and climbing area perfectly positioned in the middle of camp so you can sit and relax by your tentside whilst the smaller ones keep themselves entertained. Also onsite pond stocked with a variety of fish to keep the older ones and dads entertained with a little spot of fishing.
And remember to take your swim wear because there is a beautiful heated hottub under shelter to wind down at the end of the day.
Feeling adventurous? Take a stroll into the forest situated right behing the site and discover the quarry, keep going and find yourself at the very top with spectacular views.
Town is merely a 10 minute drive from camp with a range of local shops and supermarkets.
Would definitely recommend this place for families. Thankyou for a lovely cant wait to visit again

Liked The area was excellent as always, we asked to be near the park and we were. The facilities were clean and tidy. Our children were quite poorly coming home and they were very kind and allowed extra time for us and the prospect of continuing on our stay if we needed to! We very much appreciate the accommodation. We will be returning!

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.
