  • Peaceful, nearly wild site with views of the Long Mynd plateau
  • Amid the Shropshire Hills, a 10-minute drive from Church Stretton
  • Half an hour from Shrewsbury and 35 minutes from Ludlow
What puts the ‘woah’ in Womerton Farm Campground? It’s got to be the views. Set in the middle of the Shropshire Hills, the Long Mynd looms right over the park – so you might very well spend a large chunk of your time here gazing at this mighty plateau from your pitch. Sceptical? Just look at the pics. It’s also clear from having a gander at those that this rural and peaceful park is a haven for hikers. It leads off to top-notch walking and cycling paths around the nearby heaths and moorlands, and is a short drive from trails through woodland, towards Iron Age hillforts and across craggy mountain ridges. Besides trekking, other pursuits to have a go at in this designated area of outstanding natural beauty include fishing and kayaking; if you’re interested in either, ask on site about access to local waterways and gear rentals. Hungry after energy-expending days out? Chug over to Church Stretton (10 minutes’ drive) to catch a weekly market selling some of the area’s best local produce. For meals out, peruse the menus at the eateries here or make your way to a pub a five-minute drive from the park. Please note that Womerton Farm Campground has compost toilets but no showers at the moment.

What customers say

Peaceful, basic Shropshire Hills campsite with spacious pitches & great views. Hosts are friendly & helpful, atmosphere is quiet. Simple facilities (compost toilets, cold water) suit the wild camping vibe. Some found the lack of showers and narrow access roads a drawback.

CJ T.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked So peaceful! The host was friendly and helpful. The compost toilets were clean and in great condition. The water on site was lovely to drink! Firepit stands and bags of firewood available on site. Yes, the site is on a hill but there are plenty of places to pitch that are flat enough. You will NOT be crowded even if the site is fully booked! For a bare bones site, it's just about perfect!

Things to bear in mind, but definitely aren't negative:
The roads approaching the site are VERY narrow. Very.
There is very little phone/internet signal.
If you turn right out of the campsite, be ready for an adventure because have I already mentioned how narrow the roads are? :-)

Disliked Nothing!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We were so delighted. Booked here for one night on our way to Snowdonia Park. We pulled in the most lovely camping field and chose to pitch at the top of the slope. We weren’t disappointed, the views were incredible being surrounded by National Trust countryside and hills. If you are a keen driver the right lanes up are fantastic driving. The basic facilities were more than adequate. The owner was very welcoming. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

From the manager: Great pictures, I hope you enjoyed snowdonia. Thank you.

Local attractions

Let’s talk walks. The Shropshire Hills area is a hub for hikers, so grab your sturdiest boots and get ready to take on the top terrain. There’s the Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd plateau (15 minutes’ drive), along with Wenlock Edge’s woodland scarp (half an hour) and the craggy Stiperstones ridge (35 minutes). For a side of history with your strolls, set off for the Iron Age hillfort at Caer Caradoc (10 minutes) or bound across Bodbury Ring on the opposite side of the Carding Mill Valley. Church Stretton was known as ‘Little Switzerland’ in the Victorian era because of the lush landscape, so learn about what rural life was like back then during the blacksmith demos at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm (15 minutes). Long-distance horse rider? Have a jaunt on the Jack Mytton Way instead, keeping an eye out for upland birds like curlew and red grouse as you ride. If you prefer peering at old buildings in pretty towns, look to Ludlow (35 minutes) and Shrewsbury (half an hour). Both settlements are full of independent boutiques, so they’re fab for admiring architecture while doing a spot of shopping.
