  • Small family-run caravan park on a farm close to the Welsh border
  • A 25-minute drive from Shrewsbury and 45 minutes from Ironbridge
  • Jacuzzi, play area, snooker, games room and fishing available on site
It’s all about the chilled-out times at Bank Farm Caravan Park, a small, family-run site on a farm just next to the Welsh border. At the foot of the Breiddens with Wales on one side and Shropshire on the other, this site looks to the south, meaning morning views are filled up with valleys and mountains. Of course, you’ll also have your pick of attractions on either side, from Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive) to Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Ironbridge (45 minutes). Now for your neighbours
 Bank Farm is a small working farm with sheep and cattle, where the family has added their tender touch to the site for well over 80 years, resulting in a reel of activities. So, you might want to make the most of the play area, games room, football pitch and snooker room (this last one’s for adults only). For a proper pamper session, you might want to head to the jacuzzi after an amble around the local woodlands – these trees are packed with wildlife and the occasional wild deer roaming through, so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. And for some downtime by the water, there’s also fishing on site. When it comes to the basic stuff, the facilities have got it under control. There are two utility blocks on site, one with a specific family room, and there’s a laundry room for you to tend to any grubby clothes.

Liked Jacuzzi on site for all to use. Mini games room with air hockey. Owners were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked Fast road right outside the campsite. To use the games room and jacuzzi you had to cross a busy A road

Shelley H.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked This site is lovely and clean, has a great play area (best we’ve seen on site) football goals for a pitch and is just all round brilliant. Facilities are very well maintained and clean. Jacuzzi was amazing and a very good size. Additional games room is always an added bonus. Based in the hills it’s perfect for walks and views. Also the children loved that the farm animals were close enough to see and interact with. Hosts are super friendly.

Disliked Didn’t dislike anything but would maybe consider more showers for future as the site grows.

From the manager: Hi
Thanks for the lovely feedback. We are hoping to put an extra 2 showers in next year if our water supply will
manage that.

Liked We had an amazing time. It's great for families and the site it really well maintained. Our kids loved the play area. We've been to several other camp sites and this is the best by far. We'll be visiting again. Highly recommended.

Disliked Pitches are on a slight slope but this didn't impact our overall experience.

Local attractions

Back to the older ages
 there’s many a trip far, far down memory lane around here, beginning with Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive). This National Trust castle and country house hark all the way back to medieval times. Fast forward a fair few years and there’s a Tudor centre, museums and the home of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury (25 minutes) or the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes) for an old-school steam train trip. For an open-air museum experience, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge (45 minutes) will send you through everything from gorges to Victorian towns and over the world’s first cast-iron bridge. But, how about mucking into farm life headfirst too? There are four museums including world war trenches, a Victorian school and an Iron Age Roundhouse to bring to life the past at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (35 minutes), as well as farm animal activities and play areas. Where else to look to? Well, there’s the walled cathedral city of Chester (an hour and 10 minutes) or the Welsh coast (an hour and a half), and Lake Vyrnwy (50 minutes) is a good shot for scenic shooting, mountain biking and horse riding sessions, or watersports.
