  • Rural south Warwickshire site on a peaceful 10-acre field
  • Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon within a half-hour drive
  • Part of a 400-acre family farm; a mile's walk from two pubs
If you're just itching to dig out your wellies, wang 'em in the boot and set out to amble with animals, it's probably high time you set out for Shire Camping in southern Warwickshire. Here there are 10 acres for pitching, building fires and exploring, with gorgeously green landscapes all around. Once you've thoroughly surveyed your surrounds, it's also easy to get out to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the border of which is a mere five-minute drive from base. If you have a soft spot for walking routes and English country lanes, this well-connected site could be a good fit – Shire Camping is close to a range of footpaths (some of which run as little as a few feet from the site entrance), so it's easy to walk the mile into Oxhill village centre for lunch at one of its two pubs. The ground here is flat and level, making it straightforward to pitch up and sort out all the relevant alfresco accoutrements. Portaloos are available for guests that don't have their own toilets. Another piece of good news is that fires can be built here, so getting toasty on chillier evenings shouldn't be an issue. The management just asks that you buy all fuel on site – no foraging for sticks through the undergrowth, please. Oh, and one final piece of housekeeping – the site has no waste disposal facilities, so you'll need to take all litter home with you.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Pitches are massive, well spaced for privacy. Water taps are nearby. Very clean site. Toilets and showers are in excellent condition and clean. Don't even have to worry about wood for campfire - gets delivered to your pitch! Great location to avoid the crowds in Cotswold and fabulous location for all sunset addicts!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely site with good sized pitches. Great to also have a fire pit. Nice hot showers which were spotless. Very helpful owner.

Disliked: The toilets were too small to get in with a small child who needed assistance. Perhaps having one larger would help.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Views, toilets and showers, dog friendly and the open fires are a massive bonus. Staff super friendly and helpful. Loved how close it was for walking to pubs and other amenities. The redwings horse sanctuary and the castle at edge hill pub are wonderful.

Disliked: No bins, have to take rubbish home double bagged in the boot of the car (don’t know how that would be with dog mess/more than a few days of rubbish). Also no signs and is difficult to find from the main road.

Local attractions

Get moving and venture out to Tysoe (five minutes' drive), where there's a range of walks and historic buildings worth perusing. Almost just as close to base are Upton House and Gardens (10 minutes), an attractive country pile and grounds managed by the National Trust, Shipston-on-Stour (10 minutes), a pic-worthy Cotswold village, and Red Road Nursery (10 minutes), a family-friendly farm where you can pick your own seasonal fruit and veg. If you'd like a bit of high-adrenaline action to mix things up while on relaxing rural breaks, go gliding at Shenington Gliding Club (10 minutes) for impressive panoramas over the Warwickshire and Oxfordshire hills. Keep the blood pumping with a trip to Wedgnock Rifle and Pistol Club (30 minutes), Adventure Sports Karting (30 minutes) or Warwick Golf Centre (25 minutes). Town-based jaunts to Warwick (25 minutes) are also recommended: shopping, a medieval castle and lots of riverside green space should push various buttons if heading here. If there's time, you should also check out Moreton-in-Marsh (20 minutes) and Stratford-upon-Avon (25 minutes), Shakespeare's birthplace.
