  • Single shepherd's hut and camping pitch in an old walled garden
  • A 10-minute drive from Ironbridge; 15 minutes from Blists Hill
  • Barbecue, outdoor furniture and logburner on site
Poplar Shepherd's Hut at Willey Estates Camping is home to a single shepherd's hut in a rural walled garden. Located in the very small Shropshire village of Willey, about 10 minutes' drive from Ironbridge World Heritage Site, this relaxed glamping spot is a great option for couples looking to escape to the country in style. Families could also have a top time here, as the local area is full of kid-friendly places to visit (including Blists Hill Victorian Town a quarter of an hour down the road). The Poplar is such a splendid pick for groups travelling with kids as there's ample room in front of the hut where they can pitch a tent – near enough to base be safe, but far enough away to have a proper adventure. In addition, the walled gardens provide plenty of space for younger guests (or up to two well-behaved dogs) to blow off some steam in the fresh air. Inside, the shepherd's hut has a double bed, a table and chairs and a logburner. There is also a barbecue and a table and chairs outside for your evening meals and drinks. The hut isn't quite ensuite, but it has two smart wooden huts on either side that house the private compost loo and gas-fired shower. Interested in a meet and greet or afternoon tea with friendly alpacas? Guests at this site benefit from a 10% discount at Frankly Alpacas (about 15 minutes' drive), where a range of entertaining options are available.
