Small family-run caravan park on a farm close to the Welsh border
A 25-minute drive from Shrewsbury and 45 minutes from Ironbridge
Jacuzzi, play area, snooker, games room and fishing available on site

It’s all about the chilled-out times at Bank Farm Caravan Park, a small, family-run site on a farm just next to the Welsh border. At the foot of the Breiddens with Wales on one side and Shropshire on the other, this site looks to the south, meaning morning views are filled up with valleys and mountains. Of course, you’ll also have your pick of attractions on either side, from Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive) to Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Ironbridge (45 minutes). Now for your neighbours… Bank Farm is a small working farm with sheep and cattle, where the family has added their tender touch to the site for well over 80 years, resulting in a reel of activities. So, you might want to make the most of the play area, games room, football pitch and snooker room (this last one’s for adults only). For a proper pamper session, you might want to head to the jacuzzi after an amble around the local woodlands – these trees are packed with wildlife and the occasional wild deer roaming through, so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. And for some downtime by the water, there’s also fishing on site. When it comes to the basic stuff, the facilities have got it under control. There are two utility blocks on site, one with a specific family room, and there’s a laundry room for you to tend to any grubby clothes.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Everything was amazing, owners were lovely and everyone on the site was very welcoming. We were placed opposite the play area which was perfect for the kids and the toilet block wasn’t too far away. Facilities were clean. We had a little car trouble as we were leaving, battery had drained after the youngest started pressing buttons while we were packing up the car, the owner came round with a power pack despite it being Easter Sunday and got us going again. Super grateful! Surprise bonus was the fresh eggs in the utility room for people to buy. Didn’t get a chance to use the jacuzzi or play room, maybe next time!

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Best site we have stayed on! We were given a perfect pitch 20 feet away from the play area so we could relax by our tent and watch the children play.

The facilities are immaculate

fresh water at every pitch from the sites own spring water supply

The owners couldn’t do enough for you and were so kind.

The views are breathtaking

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic hosts can't do enough for you, really nice people. Facilities are spotless plenty of showers and toilets. WiFi ok but more for light usage.

Disliked: A lot of the pitches are on a slopes and can be a bit awkward and annoying. Probably ok for caravans but not so much for camping.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Depending on number of tents booked on the park we try to make sure the flat areas are kept for tents specifically
Thankyou

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The touring park itself was nice, well kept and maintained. The toilet block and showers were clean and tidy. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Views where nice. The children's park was OK, the games room was OK but a little outdated and you had to cross the busy main road to get to it.

Disliked: The road! This is a busy main road that splits the site, we were pitched close to the road, and the noise was horrendous. Traffic was constant all night, lorries, motorbikes, and cars passing at 50mph. We were close to the shower block and toilets, which were good in one sense but not in another. The bins was right next to it and you had inconsiderate people throwing their bottles away at gone midnight waking us up and then people coming back from the pub talking loudly as they past our tent, again waking us up. The pitches are all uneven, we was on a slant and struggled to pitch our tent at first. We had to turn it to pitch it. We get that we are camping, but sleeping down a hill isn't the best.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments. I think you were offered a pitch further away from the main road which was flatter but as you wanted to be near the facilities it was where you chose. We are aware the road can be an issue but obviously there is nothing we can do about that. You did choose to pitch very close to the toilet block unfortunately and this is not somewhere we would normally put a tent.

Local attractions

Back to the older ages… there’s many a trip far, far down memory lane around here, beginning with Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive). This National Trust castle and country house hark all the way back to medieval times. Fast forward a fair few years and there’s a Tudor centre, museums and the home of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury (25 minutes) or the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes) for an old-school steam train trip. For an open-air museum experience, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge (45 minutes) will send you through everything from gorges to Victorian towns and over the world’s first cast-iron bridge. But, how about mucking into farm life headfirst too? There are four museums including world war trenches, a Victorian school and an Iron Age Roundhouse to bring to life the past at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (35 minutes), as well as farm animal activities and play areas. Where else to look to? Well, there’s the walled cathedral city of Chester (an hour and 10 minutes) or the Welsh coast (an hour and a half), and Lake Vyrnwy (50 minutes) is a good shot for scenic shooting, mountain biking and horse riding sessions, or watersports.
