  • Shropshire countryside park with two fishing lakes
  • Views of the south Shropshire Hills and the hills into Wales
  • Half an hour's drive from Ironbridge Gorge
Splendid Shrewsbury, historic home to medieval streets, over 660 listed buildings and many a festival – and half an hour's drive from the illustrious World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge. And splendid Wigmore Lakes, close to all this industrious activity but also a Shropshire countryside site with views of both the south Shropshire Hills and the hills into Wales, to use as a base for peaceful retreats of an evening. Or just stay on site instead: Wigmore Lakes has two fishing lakes for guests for a small daily rate, to catch carp, tench, roach, bream and other silverfish (one of the lakes is predominantly filled with carp and the other has a complete mix and is often used for matches). Wigmore Lakes doesn't have a site shop, but a shop/post office is just outside, along with a fish and chip shop for takeaway and a café for breakfast and other meals. A modern toilet and shower block is available for guests' use. Wigmore Lakes does accept kids, but doesn't have any facilities for them such as a play area or games.

What customers say

Peaceful, picturesque site with spacious pitches & good facilities, great for anglers. Staff, esp. Bob, praised for helpfulness. Downsides: toilet/shower blocks dated/unclean. Still, good value & guests keen to return.

Power optional concrete slab caravan site

Liked A very warm welcome. The pitch was a very generous size and had water and electricity. Stunning setting

Disliked It was quite remote, no pub nearby.

There was a dog barking until almost midnight. I'm not sure if this was on site or not, but it sounded like it was

 Wayne V. 5 reviews

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Location: 20 minutes from Shrewsbury and 20 minutes from Welshpool and Powis Castle.

Facilities: toilet block and excellent showers. Kitchen area. The halfway house takeaway does amazing fish and chips (it's just at the end of the drive).

Pitches: we were the only ones there for two of the nights (though there are some seasonal caravans there that use the facilities). Most of the field is flat and dog owners seemed to clean up after their dogs.

Price: it was cheap.

Disliked Toilets: could be cleaner. I've seen much worse though at other campsites. Cleaners came Monday morning but they need to do better.

This next one is not a dislike about the site itself, but it did happen so I'm mentioning it.

Other guests: seasonal pitch guests (I assume) made Saturday night not very enjoyable at all.

Lovely site would stay again.

Amanda R. 4 reviews

Power optional concrete slab caravan site

Liked Extremely peaceful site with very well kept grounds. We had a hard standing pitch for a quick stop over which was huge for our little VW.
Some confusion upon arrival as I hadn’t received a text or email (We had been without wifi or signal for a few days) but this was quickly resolved.
Key code for the toilet and shower block and please don’t be me and fail to get in on the first 5 attempts! (enter code and turn the handle to the right and not left!)

Disliked Toilet and shower facilities need some attention very dusty and full of cobwebs and when using the showers the whole place was full of water as it had a wet room set up so take a waterproof bag for your things. (But shower was clean and water was hot and loos stocked with loo roll)
Also no hot water for washing up so we boiled our kettle.

Local attractions

Leave the car behind and take the bus just outside Wigmore Lakes for a history-hunting day in Shrewsbury, taking care to stroll down as many shuts (medieval streets) as possible. If you're around in August, the esteemed Shrewsbury Flower Show is one of the biggest flora-based fests in England. Also have a wander around Welshpool (Wigmore Lakes is between it and Shrewsbury) and take a trip to Ironbridge for several award-winning museums based around the Industrial Revolution. For proper wanders, a network of footpaths is close to the site, including the Offa's Dyke Path, skirting by both Shrewsbury and Welshpool on its 177-mile run from Chepstow to Prestatyn.
