  • 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.

What customers say

This small, quiet, rural campsite offers a peaceful escape with lovely views and friendly, helpful owners. Facilities, including a shower and composting toilet housed in a shepherd's hut, are consistently described as clean, basic but functional, and well-maintained. Guests appreciate the seclusion, space, and opportunities for campfires. Minor points raised include limited phone signal and the absence of a freezer, though owners are accommodating. The site is well-placed for local attractions.

Liked Small campsite but not overcrowded. Clean and tidy compost toilet and shower that forms the Shepherd's Hut. Communal social space/shelter/nook was an added bonus for children, or for staying out of adverse weather.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely quiet site. Toilet and shower facilities were fairly basic but absolutely spotless, functional but perfect for the site. We were the only people there until later on the Saturday evening. We pitched up the top of the field behind a small barn and were totally secluded.

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.
