  • On-site half-acre fishing lake; fresh eggs available
Get set for proper peace and quiet in Shropshire at this fab farm park with views over Lodge Hill and The Wrekin. The Shepherd's Loft is a pretty Shropshire park on a traditional family-run farm in the tiny village of Frodesley. With easy access from the road, dark night skies for stargazing and freshly-laid eggs for sale at the top of the drive, it's a place where you can get back to life's simple pleasures and explore the very best of the Shropshire countryside. Guests here can look forward to good on-site facilities, including well-maintained toilets, showers and a chemical disposal point. Handily, The Shepherd's Loft is also a five-minute drive from a local farm shop on the A49, while those searching for a supermarket will find Shrewsbury (25 minutes’ drive) has plenty to offer in that department. How to fill your days? Bring a rod to try the fishing pond on site, take a two-hour circular walk from the site or set off for more hikes in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For culinary treats, you might also like to head to the foodie town of Ludlow (35 minutes).

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Stayed at this campsite for the past two weekends. Me and my family love this site, as very local to us, but has facilities on site, and a great fishing pool. The owners come over for a welcome, but then leave you to enjoy your stay which is great for us as we have stayed at several campsites where you feel like the owners are watching you constantly. Will be returning several times over the summer to this campsite

Liked: Beautiful setting in the Shropshire hills.
Level pitch. Basic but clean and just right for us. Lovely 3 mile walk around the farm.

Disliked: Hot water in the outside washing up area would have been nice.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Quiet

Disliked: Shower was tepid at best.
The hoses to fill the water to my van and also to clean the toilet cassette were not connected very well so I got sprayed with water trying to do both jobs. Very annoying.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, thanks for your review. I hadn't noticed that the shower was tepid but I will check the thermostat. I will also check the hoses to the toilet cassette as I wasn't aware that there was a problem, I imagine that the guns have sprung a leak in the recent frosty weather we have had. Best wishes

Great spot, quiet, nice views, clean facilities, friendly helpful host.…

Local attractions

Once you’ve warmed up on the local footpaths, set off for longer strolls in the Shropshire Hills, perhaps starting from the walkers’ mecca Church Stretton (15 minutes’ drive) at the foot of the Long Mynd. Caer Caradoc (10 minutes) and the Wrekin (half an hour) are close by if you’d rather tackle a mountain or two. Quad biking, horse riding and River Severn canoe trips are all possible too if you don’t mind a drive of 45 minutes or so. ​For a bit of local history, start with Acton Burnell Castle (five minutes), the seat of the first Parliament in 1283, then move on to Wroxeter (15 minutes) to explore the Roman City and then take a tour and tasting at the vineyard next door. You could also embark on a Charles Darwin-themed tour of Shrewsbury (25 minutes). Ironbridge (25 minutes) is another fine place for a glimpse into the past, as is the lovely National Trust estate Attingham Park (20 minutes). Or try the Telford Steam Railway (25 minutes) for a special day out.
