About Moss Lane Cottage Camping
A small and laid-back campsite near the picturesque village of Hanmer, home to the large Mere (lake) for open water swimming. It's ideally located on the Welsh border in the Shropshire countryside, just a 15 minute drive to several towns such as Whitchurch and Ellesmere. Spread over two and a half acres, the site has two secluded fields for camping and touring with simple facilities, including a communal building with a fridge. Don't forget your torch, as much of the site is unlit. The top field has three grass pitches with electric hook up, while the bottom has eight spacious grass pitches. Both are suitable for tents, trailer tents and campervans. Looking to spend time with all the family? Larger families are welcome to pitch up together on the camping field. Pets are welcome.
The site is open for weekends only between 24th May and 21st September.
Facilities include two flush toilets, one electric shower and a communal covered area with a dining table and washing-up area.
The village shop is a 10 minutes walk away, and you can find larger supermarkets in the local town of Whitchurch (a 15-minute drive away). Here you'll find plenty of pubs and restaurants too.

The campsite was brill. We were in the bottom field and there was loads of space for everyone as there are only six pitches on the field. The undercover communal area is a great resource with toasters, kettles and fridges. We bought some local eggs, had a 50p ice cream from the freezer and had a game of darts, what’s not to love. A lovely site in a lovely area. Thank you x

Lovely place to stay with very friendly people. A nice, quiet site with very clean facilities. Will be coming back again and yes, I do recommend if you like a much more peaceful campsite.
Lovely quiet spot at the farm

We loved the quietness and location. Very kind owners. Very dog friendly. Bit disappointed that on arrival, they were starting moving sheep around and cut grass where we were supposed to pitch, but as it was quite windy we still wanted that spot for some shelter. We just felt it all could have been done before our agreed arrival time of 4pm. Also a large group started pitching up next to us which we could have been warned about so we could still reconsider where to pitch. Thankfully, it was a lovely bunch of young people and the noise was not too bad and stopped just after midnight. Only 2 showers/toilets so bit tricky when it is busy..

Things to do on site and in the Whitchurch area
The site is on two and a half acres of countryside, providing enough space for a family game of rounders and cricket - you can find games in the communal building.
A short 10-minute walk away, you are able to go open water swimming in the beautiful Hanmer Mere (boats and kayaks not allowed). It's a fresh and warm lake that has a lovely little sandy bay you might even get all to yourself.
The village of Hanmer itself is beautiful, it's a little piece of Wales that projects into North West England known as the Maelor. Head on one of the many country walks, including The Maelor Way.
The site is 6 miles from the vibrant town of Ellesmere (15 minutes) with its beautiful lake and medieval streets. Wander the formal gardens, visit the antique or arts and crafts shop or head to the weekly market that has been running since 1221.
Whitchurch is also 6 miles from Whitchurch (10 minutes), the northernmost market town in Shropshire sitting on the borders of south Cheshire and Wales.
Other things include:
- Whixamm Moss Nature Reserve (20 minutes)
- Whittington Wharf (20 minutes)
- Llangollen (35 minutes)
- The famous canal aqueducts at Trevor and Chirk (30 minutes)
- White Water Centre near Bala (an hour)
