Happy days

  • Dog-friendly campsite on a family farm near Ellesmere in Shropshire
  • Five minutes’ drive to boating on The Mere; 35 minutes to Llangollen
  • Spacious pitches with a shared covered eating area
Space, more space and utter peace are the watchwords at Willenhall Way, a family-run and dog-friendly Shropshire park near Ellesmere and a mere field away from the Welsh border. The owners are pleased to share their slice of scenic countryside, where ultra-large pitches have loads of room between each one for extra privacy. Access from the A495 is clearly signposted, easy and wide. Once on site, all is calm and quiet. The immaculate shower block (with separate ladies' and gents' and accessible facilities, plus an immaculate washing-up room) is on the site of a former piggery, while outside the caravan office guests can get together on the covered verandah to relax, eat and chat amid peaceful views. Your kids can have hours of fun at the leisure area with swings, a watch mound – and calf igloos to use as dens (useful if the weather is not playing ball) – or see how many murals they can spot around the park. Dogs get to share in the fun too. Exercise pets on the tried-and-tested walks leading directly from the park into glorious Shropshire countryside, and make the most of the dedicated doggie shower to clean them up again after any muddy outings. For family adventures, try the circular walking routes of varying lengths, or follow the Shropshire Union Canal towpath for easy-peasy strolls with the kids. There’s plenty for cyclists too, with rural lanes and a generous supply of Shropshire hills close by. And should you have any time to spare, a resident artist holds classes for guests. And if you should wonder how the park got its name, it’s from the Willenhall Herd of dairy cows who graze just across the Welsh border on a neighbouring farm.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The campsite was very well kept, all of the communal areas were very clean and the amenities were excellent. The sizes of the pitches were also brilliant! You were given plenty of space which made it feel like home away from home! We felt very safe whilst on site and would definitely revisit!

From the manager: Hello Sarah
Thankyou for your review and feedback. We are very pleased that your recent stay was an enjoyable one.The WiFi is available close to the facilities and our guests frequently use the veranda to take advantage of it.
Over the weekend the weather was a bit challenging with high winds and we felt your tent would be more sheltered where you were ; the down side being , yes the facilities were a bit further away which was unfortunate.The weather is beyond our control, however Summer beckons and we look forward to welcoming you back again hopefully with calmer weather
Many thanks Lin and Rog

Liked HUGE field, really spacious, lovely owners - so accommodating! Loved that no shop/cafe on site so less 'pestering' from children but little cute ice cream parlour open when owners about which we loved. Some great walks from site (detailed on their website and followed easily) , toilets and shower super clean, warm, dry and lovely! Play area great too. Can't wait to come back

Power optional concrete slab caravan site

Liked We had a lovely stay at Willenhall Way. The pitches are very spacious giving you plenty of room for your caravan, awning, seating area and car. There is plenty of room between each caravan giving you more privacy. We had lovely views across the countryside surrounding the caravan site.
The facilities were spotlessly clean.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Ellesmere (five minutes’ drive) is a busy little town and base for watery adventures on The Mere, a lake that forms part of Shropshire’s mini-lake district. Hire a boat, follow the sculpture trail, feed the swans or follow the all-ability trail around the shoreline. When you’re done with all that activity, find a waterfront pub and chill out amid the glorious views. Pretty Llangollen (35 minutes) has lots to offer water babies too, from horse-drawn or motorised barge adventures over the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to Horseshoe Falls and family walks alongside the River Dee. Sporty types can get busy on Alderford Lake (10 minutes), popular for paddleboarding, wild swimming or challenging romps on the inflatable water course. To up the physical stuff even more, try the treetop rope courses, swings and slides at BeWILDerwood Cheshire. Keen racegoers are catered for as well, with a programme of year-round jump racing at Bangor-on-Dee (both 20 minutes).
