  • 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! Spotless, modern facilities, friendly owners and lovely views. Great for families with kids, though some noted road noise. Many want to come back.

Kate A.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The cleanliness of site.
Spacious pitches.
Not overcrowded.
Park and field good for children.
Showers and toilets very clean and water pressure great in the showers.
Very welcoming owners.
Neighbours with cows and sheep’s.
Friendly seasonal pitch owners.
The fresh spring water directly from the sites own bore was delicious and even better than bottled spring water!
Half the park is on one side of a busy A road, not really an issue as the other side houses the statics, another toilet/shower block (showers are metered on this side), utility room, games room and hot tub to hire.

Disliked There could be more toilets/showers. In the ladies there were 2 toilets and 1 shower and a separate family shower/toilet. Think mens had 2 showers, 2 toilets and urinals. We timed our showers for late in the evening so we could get in without holding other people up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your kind comments. We are hoping to put 2 more showers in for next season. We are aware that during very busy times there are occasionally waiting times for the showers although as you say there are additional showers on the static park which the touring park customers are welcome to use.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Site was peaceful and we had a level pitch. Spotless facilities with a separate family room for shower and toilet, which was lockable from the inside.

Disliked Slight recommendation a second dishwashing sink would be of an advantage. Otherwise great campsite

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou, unfortunately at present we do not have the space for a second washing up sink

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.
