General
- Campsite next to the Severn Valley Railway in Shropshire countryside
- A 25-minute drive to West Midlands Safari Park; Ironbridge 40 minutes
- Playground, fairy village and nature pond on site; steam trains nearby
What a spot for vintage train lovers. Wellness Woodlands has a peaceful rural setting in Shropshire countryside near Bridgnorth, and a stay here offers all comers the chance to spy steam engines chugging past the camping field on the historic Severn Valley Railway.
Round and about on site – set over 20 acres so there are lots of walks to explore amid woodland planted with native trees – are four wildlife ponds as well as resident geese, chickens and ducks. You may also get lucky and see buzzards and red kites circling above, or woodpeckers among the trees.
Kids are welcomed with open arms here, and they can keep themselves entertained at the play area, find rope swings in the woods or head off to discover the themed fairy village. To keep you, your offspring and any dogs safe, no vehicles are allowed by the pitches.
This is an eco-friendly, off-grid campsite (note: off-grid equals no electricity), with no-frills amenities including separate showers and an outdoor sink for washing up.
If the weather turns, simply take cover at the HUB communal area. As far as catering goes, buy foodie supplies in Highley (five minutes’ drive) or dodge cooking altogether by eating in the pubs there. Back at base, buy fresh eggs for a breakfast fry-up or spread your bread with honey produced by the resident bees.
As this is a quiet site, portable sound systems are not permitted. Please be particularly considerate of others between 10pm and 6am.

Local attractions
Lovers of vintage steam railways are in the right place, with the Severn Valley Railway running by the site. Railway buffs can get up close to historic locomotives at The Engine House Visitor and Education Centre (five minutes’ drive), and explore industrial heritage in the museums at Ironbridge Valley of Innovation (40 minutes).
If walking and exploring is what you like to do, combine history with a ramble around the industrial remains at Cleehill (half an hour). For countryside jaunts, head for the woodland trails in Severn Valley Country Park (five minutes’ walk) or stroll along the River Wye at Bewdley (20 minutes’ drive).
A day spent at West Midlands Safari Park (25 minutes) is a day enjoying safaris around African animal enclosures and whizzing around on thrill rides in the adventure park. For younger kids, Rays Farm Country Matters (10 minutes) has a sculpture trail with dragons and trolls to track down in the woods.
