  • Peaceful 10-acre site in the Shropshire Hills, with gorgeous views
  • A 10-minute walk to the Long Mynd; 20 minutes' drive to Ludlow
  • Pick your own pitch; village pub and café within walking distance
Choices, choices… it’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup at Mowbray Meadow, so you can take a stroll around and settle down with whichever view takes your fancy. And what views they are – this 10-acre site is in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, with 360-degree views over the surrounding countryside. One thing you won’t have to factor in when selecting your spot is the ground quality – the pitching area is all flat and level, so setting up should be straightforward enough. Composting toilets and showers are available to guests, and you’re welcome to build fires to keep toasty in the evenings as long as you buy fuel on site (no foraging in the undergrowth for sticks, thanks – it’s very disturbing for the wildlife). Speaking of wildlife, you may well spot various beasts around the place during your stay. Red kites frequently circle overhead and you may hear a woodpecker tapping in the trees on a summer day. To see more of the locals, take a walk over to the nearby Long Mynd, where wild ponies roam. That’s just one of the places you could visit for a day out nearby – there’s also plenty to explore around Ludlow or with trips to the likes of Stokesay Castle and Acton Scott Historic Working Farm. The local towns of Church Stretton and Craven Arms are both less than 10 minutes away by car for cafés, pubs and shops. Even closer is the village of Marshbrook – it's about five minutes' walk away and has a pub, a bike hire place and a café that does a very fine cooked breakfast.

What customers say

Spacious, semi-wild site with amazing 360 views & peace. Owners are friendly, animals on-site. Basic but clean facilities. Gravel access & walk to loos could be tough. Some noise/crowding noted, but great for a natural escape.

Bell tent

Liked The location, amazing views, peaceful, and a lovely cafe nearby. The hosts were lovely, including Barney the dog, so friendly and trying to be very eco.
Stayed in the bell tent which was beautiful, really good size, well equipped and clean.
Toilets were clean and plenty of loo roll!

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Simple, friendly, lots of space, nice pub down the gravel drive, just a few minutes walk away. Amazing views, and location. Owners are very friendly and welcoming.

Disliked The gravel lane leading to the site runs through trees and it's a bit tight in larger vans, however it wouldn't stop me going again.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this campsite and can’t recommend it highly enough. The campsite itself is beautiful and so peaceful.
They even had the cutest little goats that were so friendly.

What truly made our stay special, however, were the owners. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Local attractions

Might you possibly have come to this area for a walk or few? It’s a very fine choice, as the Shropshire Hills are renowned for their hiking potential. Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd are the most well-known spots (and you can walk to the Long Mynd in 10 minutes or so), but there’s plenty more out there too. A good place to start for ideas is in Craven Arms (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drop in on the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. While you’re there, take a look at Stokesay Castle as well, and browse through the collections at the Land of Lost Content museum. For other days out, head to Church Stretton (10 minutes) for a round of golf or a dip in Carding Mill Reservoir. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm (five minutes) is a good pick for a kid-friendly day out; meanwhile, Ludlow (20 minutes) is an appealing prospect for grownups, with its independent food shops and restaurants making particularly tasty options.
