Shawbank, Craven Arms, Shropshire

Aerial of the campsite

Greenway Touring and Glamping Park is a friendly, independent site just for adults with a mix of grass and hardstanding pitches - all with good views and many with electric. You can also stay hassle free in glamping pods or just soak up the peace with a good book and a drink while you watch the world and birds go by. Greenway is well located for Ludlow, Church Stretton, Ironbridge and Shrewsbury. Miles of walking /cycling in the Shropshire Hills.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Me and my partner absolutely loved our stay at Greenway, and would urge anyone else thinking of booking, to just do it. You won't regret it. The site is excellently maintained. The facilities are good and are cleaned on a daily basis. The owners are very pleasant people, who can't do enough to help you and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but I got the impression that if any were to arise, the owners would do all they could to rectify any matter as speedily as possible. Just as promised, the site was so peaceful and relaxing. We booked Greenway because we wanted a mixture of days out and places to see, and also days spent purely relaxing on site. The location of the site is great for activities and sightseeing. Whilst on the site, your troubles melt away. Apart from the beautiful sounds of nature and pleasant views, the site is quiet and peaceful. Just what we wanted. Overall I can't fault our stay at Greenway. It topped our expectations. The friendly nature of the owners coupled with the sites facilities and relaxing aura made it a highly enjoyable break away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. We'd definitely consider returning in the future, and will be recommending this site to others back home. Thanks Greenway!

Site's response

We are a quiet and peaceful adults only site set within the rolling Corvedale Hills that provide an ever changing, living landscape for a backdrop to the pitches and glamping pods. We are an ideal base to just relax or explore and discover what the beautiful Shropshire Hills have to offer. This includes 'moochable' market towns like Ludlow, Much Wenlock, Ironbridge, Bridgnorth, Clun and Church Stretton to name but a few. Castles, English heritage and National Trust properties. Stunning landscapes and miles of walking and cycling - some can be started direct from the site. We are always happy to chat to our guests about or any issues they may be having or the area and what it has to offer - we also have lots of leaflets and maps available. Thank you for leaving us such a glowing review and recommendation - it is much appreciated. We are glad that your stay exceeded your expectations.

A wonderfully quiet place to get away

Small Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

On our arrival, we were greeted by Brian and shown to a choice of pitches we could choose from. He explained all about the facilities and recommended some lovely options for local restaurants to us. The area was so peaceful and quiet - the wildlife is amazing! So many birds, you can hear the lambs in adjacent fields, the buzzards overhead and the owls in the evening! The recycling system is a great idea, and everything around the kitchen/shower block area is geared to making everything so smooth and easy to use. Would highly recommend this campsite to anyone who wants a peaceful base for adventures around the Shropshire area.

Site's response

We are a quiet adults only site, set in the rolling Corvedale Hills, mid way between the historic market town of Ludlow and Church Stretton and the Long Mynd. We are an ideal base for those wishing to explore and discover the hidden gems to be found in the beautiful Shropshire Hills. Miles of walking and cycling direct from the site if this is your choice of transport. There is plenty to do or see in the area. We are a haven for birds and wildlife with the site having plenty of trees, long grass in areas and plants. We encourage guests to recycle glass, tins, plastics, paper / cardboard and food waste by providing containers that can be taken to their pitch or glamping pod. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review - it is much appreciated.

Lovely place to stay!

Myself and my partner came to stay here for a night in a glamping pod, the pod was clean, cosy, well stocked and comfortable. The facilities were all clean and cleaned daily and spotless throughout. They have a washing up facilities with extra bits like saucepans and stuff to use if you need them too! Plus lots of leaflets and information about the local area! Whilst there, I unfortunately lost my engagement ring and Jane and her partner could not have been more helpful and understanding! They helped me look for nearly an hour, even getting out a metal detector twice for us and helping us search the cabin and grounds! After we had left, they put up a poster for us too! I would recommend this site to anyone for how helpful and friendly they were! Also very understanding to a stressed lady frantically looking for a needle in a hay stack! Lovely site to stay on and would definitely go back again!

Site's response

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay despite thinking you had lost your engagement ring - we are very glad that you found it when you returned home. We try to make our guests stays as relaxing / comfortable as possible and try and anticipate some of the things that guests may have forgotten like tin or bottle openers and utensils - if it cannot be found above the washing up sinks please come and ask and we will try and help. If we can help we will. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - it is much appreciated. We hope to see you again soon.

Nice and quiet, only down side Internet connection was very ,I will stay again if I'm in the area

Beautiful site. Very clean and facilities were top. Jane and Brian were lovely and very helpful. Will be going again in the future.

Site's response

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and are already thinking of returning to stay with us. We are conveniently situated for walking on Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge and more local walks to Flounders Folly, walks from the Discovery Centre and mooching round several quaint market towns or castles. Thank you for your kind words about the facilities and Brian and I - they are much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesMar 2024

Had a lovely stay at this site. Fully serviced pitch with a lovely view and very peaceful. Excellent shower and toilet facilities with plenty of hot water and some full shower rooms, which is always a bonus. Owners around but not intrusive. Lots of recycling here, which is good. All in all, a very good stay, shame about the weather.

Site's response

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us despite the "interesting" weather which we have no control of. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review - it is much appreciated. As caravanners ourselves, I always preferred sites with showers and toilets in same room - I disliked going to one building to use the toilet, then go to another building to use the showers - hence our bathrooms having a shower, sink and toilet in them individually. There are separate toilets so the shower rooms do not get clogged up. We are keen to be kind to our environment and encourage the recycling of glass, tins, plastic, cardboard, paper and food waste.

Lovely site with excellent facilities

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

This was our first camping trip as adults in our own tent and we had the best experience. The site is so quiet and peaceful. Greenway is beautifully maintained and managed making our stay just perfect. It's the little things that make such a big difference and we had a friendly, helpful and informative greeting with Jane and Brian offering us lots of support should we have needed it during our stay. We are not only going camping again but intend to make our next trip back to Greenway.

Site's response

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and are already planning your next trip back. We are an adults only site set in a rural location surrounded by fields. The rolling Corvedale Hills provide an everchanging living landscape/backdrop to the site, making us an ideal quiet place to relax and unwind. It is lovely just to sit down with a brew or a drink and listen to the bird song. Brian and I are generally always around and are happy to chat to guests about what there is to do, where to go/eat in the area and info on local events or discuss any issues. Thank you for such a glowing review, it is much appreciated.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Very clean, well maintained site with very spacious pitches. Our main issue was location as this site is next to a busy main road which liked to be used as a race track by motorbikes. The owners were very pleasant and ensure the site is kept immaculate and are willing to help in any way they can. This is a site I will be using in the future.

Site's response

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and liked the spacious pitches. We do try to ensure that guests have space to pitch their tent or caravan or park their campervan / motorhome to take advantage of the views and counteract the gentle slope and still have space around them. The B4368 can be a very quiet road but can be noisy if it is being used as a diversion route for the A49 or by tractors during harvesting time. Motorbikes will often use this road particularly on a Sunday morning on their way through to Wales, Ludlow or Shrewsbury and again Sunday early evening on their return journey. The number of motorbikes using it as a " link" road is dependent on the weather and what is going on in the area at any particular time. We are pleased that you are likely to come and stay with us again in the future and look forward to seeing you. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is much appreciated.

Small Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Last minute decision to camp. Great place, very friendly owners, super clean facilities, quiet.... not far from Craven Arms which has a convenience shop, fish & chips shop and a great Indian restaurant. I will definitely return to this campsite and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet time.

Site's response

Thank you for choosing to camp with us and for your review and recommendation - they are much appreciated. Being an adults only site we are a quiet and peaceful site where guests can sit and relax and listen to a variety of birdsong. Craven Arms is a functional town approx 1.8 miles from us and there are plenty of cafes and a couple of pubs as well as the Indian, fish and chip shop and a Chinese takeaway. Between them and Tuffins independent supermarket one is unlikely to go hungry.

Pleasant site, recommend

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

A pleasant green site near good walks in the Shropshire hills, quaint towns like Ludlow and lots of castles. The site has very clean loos and showers (good size), nice touches like washing up liquid by the big sinks and fresh herbs to pick. Site owners friendly and helpful without being obtrusive.

Site's response

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your kind words - they are much appreciated. We are an ideal base for sightseeing, exploring and discovering what the beautiful Shropshire Hills have to offer. Brian and I are always around and happy to talk about what there is to see, do and where to eat in the area etc. We try to make your stay easy and enjoyable so that you can relax and unwind for a few hours/days. Thank you again for your review.

VW-Type Campervan - Non-Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

This is one of the nicest campsites we've been to. Lots of nice little touches and the facilities were very clean. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

Site's response

We are a small independent site that aims to provide guests with a relaxing well spaced/resourced environment so that they can relax and unwind and enjoy what the beautiful Shropshire Hills have to offer, whatever the weather. We are an ideal base to explore/mooch around the many quaint historic market towns like Ludlow, castles, buildings, whilst enjoying the spectacular, and at times dramatic, scenery provided by the hills especially at Carding Mill Valley. The herbs have proved a very big hit this year and we are pleased to see that more guests are using the recycling containers. Thank you for your 5 star review and recommendation - we really do appreciate it and hope to see you again in the future.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesAug 2023

Really enjoyed the August Bank Holiday weekend. Nice area, walked up to Founders Folly, which I recommend. Plenty of washing up areas, rent a chimnea, peaceful. Would return for sure.

Site's response

Flounders Folly is a lovely walk (takes about 50 mins each way) and if you have the opportunity to climb to the top of the tower, the views are even more magnificent than at the base of the tower. We keep a small number of chimeneas that can be loaned out to the touring pitches - it is magical sat round a fire watching it get dark and the stars popping out - the fire also provides warmth now the evenings are drawing in and cooling off. The glamping pods have their own chimeneas outside. We are in an area of low light pollution so we see many starry skies and a lot of shooting stars. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review, it is much appreciated.

Thank for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review. It is much appreciated, especially as we are a small, independent site. We hope to see you again in the future. We are a rural site set mid way between Ludlow and Church Stretton. The rolling Corvedale Hills provide and ever changing back drop to the site and is beautiful whatever time of year you visit.

Great little Shropshire gem!

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesAug 2023

Great little park - didn't use the facilities much as have own washing facilities in the caravan. Really well placed for local sites and a short, 25 minute drive to Shrewsbury. Definitely would go again and definitely recommend!

Site's response

Thank you for your review and recommendation - they are much appreciated. Our toilet block consists of 4 individual bathrooms - 3 shower, toilet and sink, 1 shower and sink and we also have 5 individual toilets all accessed from outside and if the door is locked it means someone is already in there. The hairdryer and razor point are at the back of the toilet block so as not to clog up the bathrooms. We also have 4 washing up sinks and a freezer for ice blocks. We are situated mid way between the beautiful historic market town of Ludlow with a castle, museum, river, Mortimer Forest, independent eateries and shops and of course a market several days a week and Church Stretton with Carding Mill Valley and the long Mynd with its spectacular views, wild ponies and sheep and babbling brooks/streams. There are miles of walking and cycling as well as many places to visit and experience like Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge and its associated museums, which include Blist Hill Victorian Town.

Nice stay

Small Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Nice campsite with good pitches and facilities. Nice town nearby with fish and chips and Tuffins - a great independent supermarket. Although voices could be heard in the early hours, the site was peaceful and overall we had a nice stay.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is much appreciated. Tuffins supermarket is 1.8 miles away from us and stocks virtually anything you could possibly need - with food, drinks, pets, household, homeware, freezers, plastics, pound aisles, magazines, bakery, butchers and garden sections. Craven Arms has an Indian and Chinese takeaway as well as the fish and chip shop. We are a rural site and noise, even just 2 people talking, can carry at night. There were several small family groups on this weekend who sat out talking quietly whilst waiting to see the meteor showers predicted for midnight. We do monitor noise levels and request people keep the noise to a minimum after 11pm and make guests aware how sound carries. We are an area of low light pollution so the stars can be magnificent with many being lucky enough to see shooting stars.

Excellent site

Very friendly, spacious and clean site. Good walks direct from the campsite, which is always a bonus with a dog. We didn't think much of Craven Arms, but there were lots of great walks in the area.

Site's response

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the walks in the area. Craven Arms is a functional town with it's large independent supermarket, mainline train station, take aways, cafés and couple of pubs. It is not a pretty moochable market town like Ludlow but it does have the Discovery Centre with 30 acres of meadows, café and small exhibition including a short film of a drone flight over the area and the beautiful Stokesay Castle (English Heritage property) We are equal distance between Ludlow a beautiful historic medieval town with a castle, St Laurence's Church, market days, independent shops and eateries', brewery, river and Mortimer Forest and Church Stretton and carding Mill Valley / Long Mynd.

Had a great time here

Site's response

We are glad you enjoyed stay. Thank you for lovely comments - they are much appreciated. We are situated midway between historic Ludlow with it's castle, river, market, independent shops and eateries & Church Stretton with Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd.

Motorhome - Non-Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Made very welcome by Jane and Brian, thank you. Reasonably quiet and level location with occasional road noise. Lots of local info and maps for walking etc, and facilities very good overall. Ludlow is a lovely place to visit, however wouldn't recommend Craven Arms.

Site's response

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and liked our facilities and information available on the local area. Ludlow is about 9 miles away and has something for everyone to enjoy - castle, church, river, forest, market, independent shops and eateries, small museum, brewery. Craven Arms is a functional town with Stokesay Castle and the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre on the edge of town s0 these often get overlooked. Midway between Craven Arms and Ludlow is Ludlow Race course and the Farm Shop. In the farm shop complex is Ludlow Gin Distillery (which offer tours), Plant Centre, Kitchen, the Clive Arms and of course the food centre itself. The Historic towns of Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge, Clun, Church Stretton are not far away either. We are also mid way between the larger towns of Shrewsbury and Telford. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Nice tidy site with great facilities.

Book this site with confidence. Nicely laid out tidy site with plenty of toilet and shower facilities for its size. Grass pitches are immaculate and good to have electric hook up. Hosts are both welcoming and accommodating. Check out is 11am but would be nice if it was a little later.

Site's response

Thank you for your complimentary review and vote of confidence - we much appreciate it. We are a small independent site with a mixture of generous sized hard standing pitches and grass pitches with or without electric hook up available. In a bid to preserve the grass we do request guests ask for bricks and slabs when cooking outside. As standard check out is by 11am to ensure the touring pitches are available when people checking in start arriving from noon. However, if a guest mentions they would like a later departure and we can accommodate it we will - just ask.

Excellent stay

Our first time in our caravan and the owner could not be more helpful. Helped us park up and lent us a few things we hadn't yet got. The site is beautifully kept, even a herb garden you can help yourself to when cooking. Toilets, showers and wash basins were spotless. The site is a credit to them both. We will definitely be back.

Site's response

We are glad that your first trip in your caravan was a success. We are generally around to help/offer suggestions if needed. When starting out one does not always know what one needs so if you have any queries / don't have something it is always worth asking the site owners/managers or even other guests. We do keep odds and ends that may be helpful to others and have our own caravan so if we can help we will. The herb garden was well used last year so we thought we would make it more of a feature this year. Spearmint leaves covered in boiling water make a lovely tea. Thank you for your lovely comments they are much appreciated.

Perfect pitch, perfect peace

I loved this park so clean, so spacious and so quiet. My dog loved it too. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful in pitching and hitching up. Being on my own it is sometimes difficult but nothing was too much trouble for them, I highly recommend this site.

Site's response

Thank you for your recommendation and kind words they are appreciated. We are glad you and your dog enjoyed your time with us. There are several walks that can be taken from the site with or without a dog - just ask and we will be happy to show the routes/details. We are a rural adults only site so quite often the most noise comes from the variety of birds that live in our trees and the surrounding area.

Ideal campsite, quiet and clean
