Severn Valley Touring Caravan and Camping Site: One of the Shepherds Huts on the site

General

  • Family-owned farm site in open countryside with Forest of Dean views
  • Under 10 minutes’ drive from Newnham-on-Severn and 25 to Wye Valley
  • Half a mile from the River Severn and the Severn Way

Big skies, green Gloucestershire countryside and artisan booze: what more could one want on a hol than this trip-boosting trio?

If this sounds like just the holiday ticket, seek out Severn Valley Touring Caravan and Camping Site in the village of Awre, less than a five-minute walk from a traditional cider producer and a 10-minute drive to lovely Newnham-on-Severn. The park's also in an easy position to get to, as it's a mile and a half from the A48 Gloucester to Chepstow road and 25 minutes by car from the Wye Valley.

Park up, pitch up then sit – cider in hand – to take in the gorgeous views from here (the Forest of Dean and the Malvern Hills are visible on clear days) and watch birds soar through the skies: the site's surrounds are home to creatures like kestrels, buzzards and red kites. Early risers might get a sneak peek of hares around the grounds at dawn too, and barn owls have been spotted in neighbouring fields during dusk in this ancient area once listed in the Domesday book as a royal hunting ground…

Whatever the time of day or night, visitors have access to well-designed amenities like a purpose-built toilet and shower block, as well as covered washing-up facilities and a shower room that’s accessible to people with disabilities.

Off site, the Severn Way is about half a mile away for roams beside the river. Time your visit right (check timetables online) to get a glimpse of the Severn Bore phenomenon, the surfable waves that roll right through the water at certain times of the year…

    We had a lovely stay in a shepherd hut for the weekend and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy retreat. The hut was beautifully furnished and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The facilities were always kept clean and tidy, making it easy to relax and enjoy my time there.

    Joanne, the host, was wonderful and really went above and beyond to make sure I felt at home. Her hospitality was top-notch and really added to my overall experience. She was always available and happy to answer any questions I had.

    Overall, we had a fantastic time staying in the shepherd hut and can't recommend it enough. The combination of a charming hut, clean facilities, and amazing host made for an unforgettable weekend getaway. Thank you

    Where to start it is such a gorgeous site! We were one a fully serviced hard standing pitch, nice and level, with an enormous grass area. Hedges between the pitches offer a bit of extra privacy. Our friends were on a tent and were kindly put on the grass pitch opposite us (also huge pitch) The facilities and grounds are spotless. Joanne the owner is very friendly and welcoming and was on site several times doing this and that. They have delicious apple juice from their own apples to buy - just an honesty box to pay cash - also eggs for sale too. The views are amazing and there not too much light on site so the stars are stunning … you can tell we had an absolutely lovely time and will definitely be back

Local attractions

Less than 20 minutes’ drive from the Forest of Dean, this is a solid base for ticking off tourist attractions, taking part in outdoorsy pursuits and shopping in market towns. The Dean Heritage Centre is 15 minutes away for planning wooded walks and more ambles can be had at the National Trust’s Westbury Court Garden in around 10. Other landscapes to lope around in the local area include Lydney Park, a 17th-century country estate with Roman ruins, within a 20-minute drive.

If kids start to tire of staying on solid ground, they can take on an adventure course above the treetops at Go Ape (15 minutes' drive); other spots to suit small sorts include the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (20 minutes) and the Forest of Dean Adventure Park (30 minutes).

Above-ground adventures complete, seek subterranean times at Clearwell Caves (25 minutes). Or learn about flying critters at The International Centre for Birds of Prey (half an hour) then glide about at your own leisure in a canoe hired from Symonds Yat (35 minutes).
