  • Dog-friendly site 10 minutes’ walk from riverside Upton upon Severn
  • Malvern Hills five minutes’ drive, and Tewkesbury 15 minutes
  • Waterside pitches with fishing access; restaurants and marina in Upton
Black-and-white houses, a stunning riverside, a packed schedule of festivals and pubs to please fond-of-food punters: that’s a snapshot of Upton upon Severn, a waterside town 10 minutes’ walk away from The Old Allotments in Worcestershire. The USPs for this low-key site are just as pleasing: dog-friendly pitches, plots on the banks of the Severn where guests can fish, and facilities that include toilets and showers, an Elsan point and a washing-up sink. With such a handy location so close to the town, riverside walks or cruising down the river on a hire boat could soon be on the horizon – Upton upon Severn has a busy marina with a bar, restaurant and boat hire. There are supermarkets five minutes’ walk from the site as well as pubs, eateries and takeaways a little further away. Regular events take place at the Three Counties Showground (10 minutes’ drive), and The Old Allotments is also a handy base for exploring the natural beauty of Malvern Hills National Landscape.

Rebecca L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Really nice site, it’s basic but clean and in a great location. The town, which is lovely, is less than 10 minutes walk away. It is on a busy road but it didn’t bother us. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be re-visiting.

Electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Quiet pitch away from road, lots of birdsong and good facilities, great shower and plenty of hot water. Easy walk into Upton upon Severn and supermarket less than 10mins walk

Disliked Road could be noisy if pitch was that side but not an issue for us. Basins in washrooms could be bigger

Disliked Walk along very fast road to town- obviously not the fault of the owners but I'd be wary of it with children.
Could do with a few solar lights by the entrance & facilities

Local attractions

Fancy a trip out? Before you set off, check in with the tourist office in Upton upon Severn, as the town has regular summer music festivals and events. You may also like to hire a barge to float down the River Severn, or bone up on local history at the town’s Tudor House Museum or Pepperpot Heritage Centre. As well as a number of half-timbered traditional pubs, Tewkesbury (15 minutes’ drive) is known for its splendid abbey with ornate stained-glass windows and tombs from the War of the Roses. There’s a medieval library in the Norman/Gothic cathedral at Worcester (half an hour), along with fine china exhibits at the Museum of Royal Worcester and local history displays in the City Art Gallery and Museum. Of course, the edge of the Malvern Hills National Landscape is only five minutes’ drive away for alfresco adventures on foot or by bike. You can scramble up to the Iron Age’s British Camp Hill Fort (15 minutes) for staggering views over Herefordshire and Worcestershire, or cycle the signposted network of bike trails across the region.
