  • Small and friendly meadow site near the Shropshire Hills
  • Within 10 minutes' walk of Much Wenlock
  • Campfires allowed: logs and kindling available on site
Good times for all ages can be anticipated at Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping near Wenlock Edge in Shropshire: if you want a peaceful and relaxed setting with stacks of space for the kids to let off steam, this family-friendly place will tick all your holiday boxes. The big draw here is the friendly vibe from amiable owners and seasoned campers Claire and Carol, who'll be seen on site keeping everything shipshape (and sorting out logs and kindling for your evening campfire). The modern facilities extend to showers and toilets with underfloor heating, hair dryers and heaters, as well as a laundry room. Other topping factors are the big and safe natural area for kids to run around in away from the main site, and the closeness of Withies to activities of all sorts, including hikes around the Shropshire Hills, industrious visits to Ironbridge and its museums, and mooching around Shrewsbury, under half an hour's drive away. Withies is set in six acres of grassy meadow on Wenlock Edge near the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's a 10-minute walk to the historic market town of Much Wenlock and its visitor centre, traditional shops and a satisfying selection of pubs and restaurants.

Relaxing, welcoming spot with great modern ablutions & kitchen. Beautiful setting, easy access to walks & Much Wenlock. Pitches are sloped (bring wedges). Guests enjoyed secure entry, plentiful free wood & play area. A few noted limited showers/loos & no on-site shop.

Benjamin F.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Tony (top chap) looked after me and my family very well. Toilet block and showers were immaculately clean. Nice small site with a few areas for the kids. Friendly campers and vanners. Electrical hook-ups available. Secure/gated entry which is coded - also stops kids wandering off! 2 minutes to local pub and a 15 minutes to the Long Myndd. We found this place by chance and will be returning in 2 weeks!!! Highly recommended. Benjamin and Rebecca

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent facilities, it was so useful to have the kitchen area with fridge, kettle, microwave & toaster for us to use! The toilets/showers were very clean. Friendly owner. Nice 10 min walk into town from the site. Our daughter appreciated the little play area

Disliked Cars passing on the main road were a little noisy, but this couldn't be helped, and would have been quieter if we had camped near the top of the field instead of the bottom

Great location close to Much Wenlock but feels remote and peaceful

Andrew P.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely location with views to match. Great for walks back into the town without having to go near the main road. Toilet/shower block is really well built and kept lovely and clean. My little one enjoyed the play equipment on site. Nice relaxed feel all round.

Disliked No real complaints, but as tent camper it’s on a slope so we had to think about where best to pitch.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Good location, easy traffic free walk into Much Wenlock.
No frills campsite, facilities good and not overcrowded as some reviews state.

Disliked All pitches are on a slope. Slight road noise from passing traffic and quiet time not enforced by staff on site meaning music was played by other guests until 1am!

Would definitely go again

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Toilet & shower block - very modern, spacious, clean.
Gated entrance with a code meant the site felt safe & secure.
Site was simple, well kept, laid back and friendly.
Close to the beautiful little town of Much Wenlock (I recommend the butchers, we enjoyed some yummy bacon!)
Fire pits and firewood were available, which we made good use of each evening.
Tony & his family were friendly & welcoming.
I spent a very pleasant, quiet 3 nights here in my VW campervan.

Local attractions

Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping is in prime position for Shropshire's country, town and historic attractions, from its setting near the Shropshire Hills and within walking distance of town. Much Wenlock is between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth, with the Ironbridge Gorge and the town of Telford to the north-east. Within a few minutes' walk is the limestone escarpment of Wenlock Edge, a Site of Special Scientific Interest running for over 19 miles between Craven Arms and Much Wenlock. It includes the marked trail of the Shropshire Way, the bridle path of the Jack Mytton Way, and eccentric structures like the tower Flounder's Folly, which many walks around the area pass. The Ironbridge Gorge Museums should entice even the most reluctant of small Shropshire holidaymakers: this UNESCO World Heritage Site has 10 museums telling the tale of Britain's Industrial Revolution, including the Blists Hill Victorian Town and Enginuity, an interactive design and technology centre with shows and workshops. Also make time for a trip on the spectacular Severn Valley Railway, on its 16-mile route through the Severn valley and along the River Severn for much of the way. The track runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster; alight nearby at Ironbridge Level Crossing, or nine miles from Withie at Bridgnorth. County capital Shrewsbury is 13 miles away, and the market town of Ludlow within 23.
