Shropshire campsites

Camping and Caravans

By the Wood is three acres nestled between Church Pulverbatch and Wrentnall on the Shropshire Way and Marches Way walks.

It’s an ideal location if you enjoy exploring local country walks, bird watching, or sitting back, unwinding in the peaceful countryside surrounded by wildlife. If sitting quietly is more your thing, relax on a bench in our young wood. Maybe you’ll be inspired to paint, or write novels and poems as did our local author Mary Webb.

If you prefer to be out and about though, there’s lots to keep you entertained! Looking for a public house nearby? The Red Lion is 0.6 of a mile away and easy walking distance. Should you feel energetic, then you could walk to the Red Lion pub for lunch and walk back. Alternatively, it is a 10 mile walk over the Long Mynd to Cardingmill Valley at Church Stretton.

Should you have to rely on broadband, we have very good internet available anywhere on the site.

Please contact us if you have any questions about opening dates, facilities or additional measures at this campsite.

We pride ourselves on providing guests with a peaceful visit so we regret we cannot take children or group bookings.
