About the site


Providing an idyllic stop off in quiet Shropshire countryside, this site offers spacious touring pitches and a unique opportunity to experience authentic farm life. The family run working farm has a rich history, cultivated by the same family in Frodesley for over 120 years. Dedicated to continuing traditional mixed farming methods, this site ensures a rural experience for its guests. Visitors can witness the daily rhythm of farm life with the variety of animals roaming the fields or admire the dark skies sitting under the stars from their pitch. Enjoy the well stocked carp fishing lake onsite, a peaceful pastime for anglers. The eight hardstanding touring pitches cater to campervans, caravans, and motorhomes. Each provides plenty of space, measuring 7m x 5m, accompanied by a 16 amp electric hook up. 15 minutes away from Shrewsbury town, this site is ideally located for families to unwind and relax. A well behaved dog is welcome, provided they are kept on a lead. Campfires and BBQs are permitted if kept raised off the ground.

A note from the site themselves...

Keep your eyes peeled during your stay, as you're likely to spot an abundance of local wildlife that flourishes thanks to our sustainable farming practices. From the swift movement of hares across the fields to the majestic sight of red kites and buzzards circling overhead, there's always something to observe.

You might also catch a glimpse of an elusive snipe in the wetter areas of the farm or spot graceful deer grazing in the distance. We're passionate about preserving this natural haven while continuing our farming heritage, and we're thrilled to offer you the chance to experience its wonders firsthand.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesJun 2025

Booked for a one night stay between visits to NT properties. Two days before arrival we had pinpoint directions (better than the sat nav route) complete with our pitch number via email. Drove on and set up on an almost perfectly level Hardstanding pitch with hook up conveniently located. Subsequently greeted by the owner with friendly conversation and pointing out of facilities. A very quiet peaceful night, with plenty of birdsong to greet us in the morning.
