  • Small Teme Valley farm site an hour's drive from Birmingham
  • Half an hour's drive from Leominster and Kidderminster
  • Access to lanes, footpaths and bridleways for countryside walks
Are quiet and secluded countryside stays calling? Take a look at By the Red Phone Box, a family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from the Worcestershire market town of Tenbury Wells. Amid meadow grasses on a Teme Valley working farm, this is a top spot for making the most of scenic rural vistas. Views of Clee Hill can be taken in from the site, and a host of lanes, footpaths and bridleways start on site for countryside strolls. The natural setting is enhanced by the free-range cattle, pigs, sheep, horses and chickens, but don’t worry – fencing keeps them within their own area. There's plenty of birdsong to hear on site, and you can borrow wildlife books to identify what you’re hearing – walking maps are available too. The site's also a 20-minute drive away from Wyre Forest, 15 minutes from Go Ape Wyre and 10 minutes from the fishing lakes at Woodston Manor. With nature-filled and eco-friendly breaks being of utmost importance, the site has all the credentials for peaceful getaways with a low carbon footprint, including composting toilets, gas-heated water, solar lighting and a recycling system. The showers, toilets and washing-up area are all found in a lovingly restored horse box, and – a nice touch this – if temperatures drop, you can stay cosy overnight with hot-water bottles provided by the site team. When it comes time for eats, barbecues are welcome on site, and you can pick up bits and bobs from the supermarket in Tenbury Wells. Next door to the site is a pop-up country pub that's open most Fridays from 5pm to 9pm and once a month on Sundays.

What customers say

A peaceful rural retreat with spacious sites. Praised for clean facilities (including a unique shepherd's hut shower/loo) and friendly owners. A few noted limited facilities and poor phone signal, but owners are adding more. Good value for a back-to-basics, eco-friendly stay.

Unpowered grass site

Liked We loved the peace and quiet. Listening to birdsong during the day and seeing red kites overhead was wonderful. At dusk we were visited by bats and by night the stars were spectacular. We were even treated to a shooting star show. The other campers were really friendly and there was a great atmosphere on site all weekend. It's fantastic that the site owners limit the number of guests to avoid it becoming overcrowded.

Whilst there is only one shower it's spacious and was clean and tidy during our stay.

The washing up area was adequate and had hot water available, which was an added bonus.

There's so much to do locally too. We visited Stokesay Castle, Ludlow, Tenbury Wells and Croft Castle. We had dinner at The Rose and Crown at Burford and breakfast at Mr Thom's in Tenbury Wells, both of which we can recommend.

This site gives excellent value for money.

Disliked The recycling area was already full to capacity on arrival. We took ours home with us so be prepared for this.

Despite clear signage, other campers used the hot water taps in the toilet and washing up area whilst the shower was in use, which either made the shower go cold or turn off completely.

We are usually staunch supporters of composting toilets. However, we couldn't get on with this one. The separator is supposed to keep yellow waste going into the brown section. However, the yellow section was frequently blocked with sawdust and the brown section was very brown around the rim, which wasn't particularly pleasant. Maybe it's a female anatomy issue but there doesn't seem to be an adequate margin of error to keep the two types of waste separate. There was no sawdust left by the early hours of Sunday morning.

Liked The field had lovely surrounding views and was so peaceful. The stars at night was amazing to see and the bird songs in the morning was wonderful to hear.
Shower was lovely and clean and for a camp shower nice and spacious. It's really nice that not too many tents are booked in too so the field felt very spacious and open. I felt comfortable letting my daughter run around and play too.

Disliked My only negative really was the toilet. The design of the composting toilet wasn't the best which meant it kept getting dirty and everyone was getting sawdust where sawdust wasn't meant to go so the front bit would get blocked. It got to the point I was dreading going to the toilet.

Liked A small but perfectly formed basic campsite deep in the countryside. There are fire pits available, a covered area with a table and chairs and a couple of comfortable seating areas and a shepherd’s hut which has been converted into a shower room and separate compost toilet, with a washing up area and drinking water tap on the outside.

Disliked Nothing

Liked It’s a quiet little site with a lovely shower and toilet. Possibly the nicest camping shower I’ve ever used. Very spacious pitches and a lovely friendly owner. We had an amazing weekend there. We have friends in the area and this will now be our go to campsite when visiting them.

Liked This is a lovely little campsite with clean facilities and fairly level pitches. There's even a decent little covered area with a table and chairs should the weather turn. The location is perfect too, away from main roads which meant there was no background traffic noise.

Disliked There is only one toilet and shower. Not a problem when I stayed, but might be tricky if the site was full.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feed back, we glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet, away from it all, the shared covered space was a new addition last year, and its getting a great response, as a 7 pitch site, 1 toilet and shower, met requirements, but we are looking at adding an additional toilet and shower, we just keep trying to improve things for our guests. Look forward to welcoming you and your wife back next time

Evelyn shepherd's hut

Liked Had the entire site to myself and my dog (don't blame people skipping camping this weekend during storms) but it made for an extra peaceful bit of time alone & extra freedom for the mutt :)

Unique mix of facilities:
Comfortable Shepherds Hut, extremely comfy and spacious double bed. Separate private bathroom in converted horse box (cool and quirky) nice and clean with hot running water. Covered outdoor outdoor kitchen area. BBQ & fire pit and some firewood also provided.

Crisps and local apple juice provided on arrival and milk in fridge.

Nice collection of books and a good welcome pack with info on local walks. Also had menus / contacts for local take aways which delivered to site, which was really handy in a remote location during bad weather. Would normally cook outdoors but the food delivery services were a god send during Storm Amy.

The site is located within some great local scenery. set among local orchards. Our neighbours, the sheep in the next field were nice to see.

Great drives out into the Shropshire hills & Ludlow nearby.

Disliked not a dislike, but took a while to find the fridge.. it's situated externally behind the kitchen unit... just an FYI for future guests

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and the weather didn't spoil things for you, we have tried to set everything up so that whether its a heat wave or storm, we've got it covered, I'm currently making hand painted signage for the site, and will include one for the fridge, thank you for the feed back its much appreciated
best wishes

Local attractions

Close to the borders of Worcestershire, Shropshire and Herefordshire, this site is well-placed for adventures of all kinds. There’s a wealth of nice spots hereabouts, so be sure to cross as many off lists as possible, starting with the museum, swimming pool and shops of Tenbury Wells and the bars, restaurants and brewery of Cleobury Mortimer (both within 10 minutes’ drive). Farther afield, Ludlow (25 minutes) is a must for its castle, market, shops and brewery. Leominster and Kidderminster (both 30 minutes) have even more to entice, from Grange Court and the start of the 40-mile circular Black and White Trail in the former, to the Severn Valley Railway, railway museum and West Midlands Safari Park in the latter. Bigger days out can be had in Hereford (45 minutes), where visitors should wander about the Black and White museum, the waterworks museum and – perhaps most importantly of all – the cider museum. If history is becoming the draw, the site’s within 35 minutes of Great Witley Court, Berrington Hall, Brockhampton, Croft Castle, Hampton Court and Stokesay Castle, and also within 35 minutes of Stockton Bury Gardens, Ralph Court Gardens and Hampton Gardens.
