  • 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 National Landscape. 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

Pods are a hit: clean, cosy, well-equipped with fire pits and BBQs. Stunning, peaceful rural views ideal for relaxing and walks. Showers are clean and hot. Minor gripes: rocky driveway, super-hot showers, and a wish for more kitchen gear/hooks.

Liked Location was so serene (notwithstanding the noise of sheep!). Great touches like usb charging, comfy beds, extra blanket, toilet roll and paper towels in loo. Well provisioned and at the same time, agreeably basic - just what I wanted :)

Camping pod

Liked Lovely remote location, loved hearing the sheep and the owls and watching the bats! Really nice shower too which was very welcome after a long hike.

Disliked Not really a dislike but the charging point was only a USB A type, which I didn't have as most new devices use USB C. I needed my phone to be able to navigate home so I had to go out and buy an adapter. Worth noting to bring one with you as it derailed my plans somewhat!

Camping pod

Liked Very private , only 2 pods with a good distance between, beds are comfy and pods was very clean, cadik cooker was perfect for our needs. Shower and toilet facilities also very good and washing up area. Views were perfect and the fire pit set up was fab shame we couldn’t use it due to hot weather but totally understood as ground was very dry. Lovely surprise of 2 cold bottles of corona as well from the owners 🥰

Disliked Didn’t dislike anything and will be definitely booking again for next year !

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

Camping pod

Liked Gorgeous location, so peaceful and comfortable and had everything we needed. Bathroom was clean and very comfortable.

Disliked Only thing to be aware of is that you are right next to fields of sheep and we found they were quite loud in the morning, so do bring earplugs!

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).
