  • Quiet purpose-built camping pods in the Shropshire Hills
  • Hike for around an hour to reach Carding Mill Valley
  • Firepit and gas cooker provided; three pubs and lots of trails nearby
It’s pretty darn peaceful at Minton Hill Pods in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just step outside, ready your hiking boots or bicycle and choose from the many sleepy country lanes surrounding this purpose-built camping pod site. From this spot four miles south of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, some tracks will take you all the way to the heather-carpeted plateau. There’s wild swimming there too – a welcome way to cool off after the hour-long walk. Cyclists are a few hundred yards from the Minton Bach mountain bike trail, a well-regarded single-track ride. The Minton Hill Pods are in a remote, small and highly peaceful woodland on a family-run hill farm, down a short, solid stone track and half a mile south of Anglo-Saxon settlement of Minton. Solar panels power the lights and charging points in the pods, which are fully insulated and have room for two adults. Simply stack the beds (bedding is provided) to maximise your space if you’re travelling alone – it’ll be like a single bed or a sofa. Stacking the beds this way also creates more room for chilling out with your book or your travel buddy – although you may well be outside taking advantage of the open firepit and gas cooking facilities that have been provided (sunset meals and stargazing, anyone?) These off-grid pods have plenty of features, including drinking water on tap and access to well-maintained washing-up facilities, flushing toilets and hot showers. There’s firewood available for an additional cost, but please bring any fire lighting equipment, a powerful torch, cutlery, cooking utensils, pans and towels with you. When you’re in search of other sustenance, tasty food and a warm atmosphere can be tracked down at the pub in Marshbrook (15 minutes’ walk) or the two pubs in Little Stretton (half an hour). The market town of Church Stretton (five minutes’ drive) has cafés, a supermarket and more dining out options.

What customers say

A peaceful, remote escape with stunning views. Pods are super clean, well-equipped, and comfy, with great loos and showers. Beautiful scenery, close to walks and pubs. Fire pits and BBQs a hit. Recommends more hooks, covered washing-up, and maybe a small fridge. Highly recommended for a relaxing break, many want to return.

Camping pod

Liked Peace, quiet and fresh air. Camping without the hassle of pitching tent and camping bed set up. The shower was simple, but good temp and lovely and clean. Nice to be off grid, yet able to charge phone, cook etc without worries. Very relaxing

Liked What a beautiful place to get away from it all! We didn’t see another person! The pod was perfectly kitted out, the toilet and shower facilities were excellent. The gas bbq and cooking facilities were excellent, and we loved making our own fire. We loved it here and definitely will be back. Perfect place to explore the beautiful walks nearby. Thank you!

Camping pod

Liked Beautiful peaceful secluded site, only 2 pods, very quiet. Easy to get to from A49. A short walk down the hill to a great pub for food (great steaks).
Loved the views, could stare out at them all day! Perfect in a camping chair with a beer in hand.
Would definitely return.

Disliked Bed not the most comfortable but as expected for camping. Don’t expect hotel comfort!

Liked The location, the scenery was beautiful and although I had seen pictures from reviews they really didn’t do it justice. The view is even good when washing up which is great.. I loved the facilities, the room has everything you need. Toilet is clean, shower is warm with good pressure. Instructions are clear on arrival. Host has great communication.

Disliked As I was informed it was off grid, which is lovely however would be nice to have an option to plug in a little fridge or cooler to keep food cool especially if cooking on the cadac.

Local attractions

From this central Shropshire spot, it’s not tricky to track down attractions from Minton Hill Pods. Take in the countryside from a steam railway, like in the old days, by joining the Severn Valley Railway from its Bridgnorth station (40 minutes’ drive). Then, march on towards Stokesay Castle (25 minutes), where one of the richest men in England lived in the 13th century. Museums can be tracked down in Ironbridge (40 minutes), medieval Powis Castle (50 minutes) or the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (10 minutes). As for peaceful sightseeing and pottering around, Ludlow (25 minutes) and Shrewsbury (35 minutes) are excellent contenders for such activities. When you’re not out biking or hiking the Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, there’s also a popular single-track cycling trail through Minton Batch (around 15 minutes’ cycle).
