  • Campsite next to the Severn Valley Railway in Shropshire countryside
  • A 25-minute drive to West Midlands Safari Park; Ironbridge 40 minutes
  • Playground, fairy village and nature pond on site; steam train views
What a spot for vintage train lovers. Wellness Woodlands has a peaceful rural setting in Shropshire, just 15 minutes' drive away from the historic market town of Bridgnorth. And this is where the trains come in — the site has a private woodland walk that'll take you directly to the Severn Valley Railway, where there is a museum and station. Just a little further on, the local pub sells good food and local ales. Round and about on site, there are four wildlife ponds as well as resident geese, chickens and ducks. Set over 20 acres, there are lots of walks to explore amid woodland planted with native trees. You may also get lucky and see buzzards and red kites circling above, or woodpeckers among the trees. Kids are welcomed with open arms here, and they can keep themselves entertained at the play area, find rope swings in the woods or head off to discover the themed fairy village. To keep you, your offspring and any dogs safe, no vehicles are allowed by the pitches. This is an eco-friendly, off-grid campsite (note: off-grid equals no electricity), with no-frills amenities including separate showers and an outdoor sink for washing up. If the weather turns, simply take cover at the HUB communal area. As far as catering goes, buy foodie supplies in Highley (five minutes’ drive) or dodge cooking altogether by eating in the pubs there. Back at base, buy fresh eggs for a breakfast fry-up or spread your bread with honey produced by the resident bees. As this is a quiet site, portable sound systems are not permitted. Please be particularly considerate of others between 10pm and 6am. Please note that the site grounds are not completely even and that cars cannot be parked by the pitches (trolleys are available to help you transport your luggage from the parking area).

What customers say

This spacious, peaceful campsite is praised for its beautiful natural surroundings and friendly staff. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained. It's ideal for families with plenty for children to explore, and its proximity to the Severn Valley Railway is a highlight. Some minor issues included cobwebs in toilets and limited washing-up sinks during busy periods.

COLIN JAMES D.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked What a Gem of a Camp site. I stayed two nights, Sunday to Tuesday, in my tent. It's a very peaceful site. Jess the owner was very helpful. i explored the Severn valley country park by bike. I've been camping for many years but not camped for the last 6. This site has got me back in love with camping again. I'll definitely be back.

Disliked Showers etc needed a clean

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Unfortunately, we were unable able to get hold of you and had messaged you too to see if you were coming as the weather was bad that day. Unfortunately you didn't respond so we assumed you weren't on site and hadnt come. The toilets and showers ect are cleaned regular when people are on site, and if we had known you were there it would have been spotless I apologise as we are very proud of our cleanliness.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked We got to explore and see the forest walk and fairy garden this time, no matter how much time i spent in those areas time just ceased to be.

We absolutely love Wellness Woodlands it's going to be my second home lol. Nothing is ever too much if you need assistance or anything in general.

Again such a beautiful area to be in and so so peacefull. Thankyou for having us, hopefully we will see you again soon.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked Really lovely site with access straight into the Severn Valley Country Park and to the Severn Valley Railway.
Site was quiet with loads of space to pitch-up.
Shared areas such as the kitchen, BBQ and covered tables with seating were great.
Several pubs, the river, the SVR Engine Shed and the main SVR station all in walking distance.

Disliked Toilet facilities were clean, but small. Not an issue for us on a quiet weekend, but could be an issue if very busy.

I most definitely will visit again

Tania G.

Pumpkin bell tent (medium)

Liked Beautiful site, quite basic but everything was spic and span, and Jess was very friendly and helpful. We were the only ones there on the Sunday night and the peace and serenity of the site were wonderful. Having said that, even with other campers there, it's so spacious an area (used to be an 18 hole golf course), that we weren't bothered by anyone. Shower was lovely and hot and the outdoor kitchen well supplied with everything needed to cook. Inflatable bed in Bell tent comfortable and tent itself marvellously roomy (we had the Pumpkin one). Nice walks including one down to the railway station and the pub and river.

Local attractions

Fans of vintage steam railways are in the right place, with the Severn Valley Railway running by the site. Railway buffs can get up close to historic locomotives at The Engine House Visitor and Education Centre (five minutes’ drive), and explore industrial heritage in the museums at Ironbridge Valley of Innovation (40 minutes). If walking and exploring is what you like to do, combine history with a ramble around the industrial remains at Cleehill (half an hour). For countryside jaunts, head for the woodland trails in Severn Valley Country Park (five minutes’ walk) or stroll along the River Wye at Bewdley (20 minutes’ drive). A day spent at West Midlands Safari Park (25 minutes) is a day enjoying safaris around African animal enclosures and whizzing around on thrill rides in the adventure park. For younger kids, Rays Farm Country Matters (10 minutes) has a sculpture trail with dragons and trolls to track down in the woods.
