  • Off-grid and eco-friendly site on a working farm in the Teme Valley
  • A 30-minute drive from Leominster and Kidderminster
  • Honesty shop with perishables for sale on site
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 site, and a host of lanes, footpaths and bridleways start on site to take rambling guests on countryside strolls. The natural setting is enhanced by the free-range cattle, pigs, sheep, horses and chickens, but don’t worry – fencing ensures they can’t show up at tents unannounced. 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 20 minutes' 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. The site's neighbours also host a pop-up pizza and perry night at their farm, just a short stroll down the lane; it's held every other Friday evening.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: We stayed in a standard tent pitch with our Land Rover and roof tent. Fairly small rectangular field site with well spaced level pitches. Lovely and quiet. Very nice shepherd's hut divided in two consisting of a composting toilet/sink on one side and shower/sink on the other. Washing up station on one end too. All areas had hot water! Very friendly owner. Loved the peace and quiet enjoyed a relax by the provided firepit. Glamping set up next to camp site looked fantastic and might give that a go next time.

Disliked: Nothing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: so glad you liked our little place and enjoyed your stay, our 1 acre field may be small by comparison to some, but we like to think small is beautiful and with just 5 camping pitches there's so much space to make your own, hope to see you again and loved the Land Rover ! thanks Ian & Emma

Disliked: Not near a pub or shop, so take all your supplies!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: we're glad you enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location, we do have a pop up country pub next door (fortnightly through the summer) and sometimes there's the fish & chip van at the nearby caravan park too, but I'm afraid the lack of pub & shops is the price we pay for peace & tranquillity, we keep our social media up to date with upcoming functions and pub nights hope to see you again Ian & Emma

Unpowered grass site

Liked: This was a beautiful spot, very secluded and private but also accessible for nearby places. I was really impressed with the eco shower and toilet which were beautifully presented and extremely effective - excellent water pressure in the shower! I had not camped for years and I was not exactly looking forward to it, but I had such a lovely time and I will definitely be camping again and would recommend this campsite to couples and families.

Disliked: Grass should be cut shorter

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you liked our bathroom facilities, we were keen to ensure they were just as high standard for the camping field as the glamping and it is certainly a loo with a view ! so sorry you would have preferred the grass to be cut shorter, as a back to nature site, we have no hard standing, if we cut the grass too short, when we have storms, the field becomes very muddy very quickly, by keeping the grass a little longer it protects the field, avoids mud in the bathrooms and guests tents & campers, hope to see you again thanks Ian & Emma

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 urban 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 urban days 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.
