  • Family-run smallholding in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape
  • Spectacular views over Wenlock Edge and surrounded by walking trails
  • Barbecues and firepits welcome; friendly dogs permitted on a lead
At Walnut Cottage Caravan Park, a peaceful family-run site 10 minutes’ drive from the small town of Much Wenlock in Shropshire, finding the dream getaway doesn’t have to be a tough nut to crack. Nine miles from Wenlock Edge and surrounded by the meadows and woodlands of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, Walnut Cottage is a paradise for ramblers and adventurers. Heaps of walking routes, cycling routes and riding trails – many of which are part of the Shropshire Way circular – crisscross the area, so pull on those walking boots, don your bike helmet or climb into the saddle and explore. For the little legs struggling to keep up, a play park back on site will buoy moods – let the kids burn off some energy on the swings, climbing frame and trampoline (or in the toddlers' area if they're still mini). Feeling peckish? Fire up the barbecue and pile it high with supplies from the convenience store in Much Wenlock, then tuck in by the campfire. Friendly dogs are welcome on site, so don’t forget to toss Rex a bone – just make sure he’s leashed first. There is no wifi on site.

What customers say

Great campsite, secure & tidy with ample, clean pitches and top-notch loos. Wayne, the owner, is a gem! Good for exploring, with a decent playground and dog field. Just a heads-up on narrow lanes and no WiFi (yet!).

Liked Nice clean and quiet helpful owner
Showers good

Disliked Not enough walking for me

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review. The only thing is I don't understand how you can say is not enough walks for you much. Wenlock is full of walks all over the place as I said to you when I changed your dates for you and I'll let you come on a different date to help you out But when you asked about walking, I said if you wanna walk up to the Wenlock edge all the walks are from there and you said no problem. All I need to do is go round the Ring Road. I'm very sorry I youwasn't happy, but obviously you give me a very low score Because of the walking on the outside of my site which is really put my score low because of the outside of the site, not my site. Not a problem as you said in your words the site is very nice, but obviously not nice enough for any more than 6. Thank you, Wayne.

Perfect site for all ages 👌

Simon R.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked One the best campsites we've stayed at. You won't find cleaner facilities that's for sure, the showers are awesome and everything is very well looked after.

A real quirky site with elements to make everyone smile. The pitches are well layed out and spacious. Not perfectly flat but plenty of planks and blocks on each pitch to help level up.

Wayne (the owner) was really friendly and helpful.

There are lots of signs and rules around the site but nothing that you wouldnt adhere to as a responsible camper anyway and it was nice to see just how much care and attention has been put into keeping this site so clean.

There's a nice little play area for the kids and a patch of grass big enough to play on as well.

At night the site is silent and perfect for a bit of stargazing

Highly recommend for families with small kids, they can go off and explore on their own without being out of site.

Disliked Nothing at all

Local attractions

This part of Shropshire is brimming over with history. Start with an exploration of the ruins and reconstructions at the Wroxeter Roman city, Viriconium, 15 minutes’ drive from Walnut Cottage Caravan Park, then jump forward a thousand years or so for something more recent: at the birthplace of the industrial revolution in Ironbridge Gorge, 20 minutes away, wander through Blists Hill Victorian Town, learn about the history of iron in the Coalbrookdale Museum and cross the first cast-iron bridge in the world. There are plenty of stately homes and (formerly) impregnable fortresses nearby: the 13th-century Stokesay Castle is 30 minutes from Walnut Cottage, and the spectacular Attingham Park, Wilderhope Manor and Benthall Hall are all within 20 minutes of the site. The local towns are no slouches either: Church Stretton, the only town within the Shropshire Hills AONB, dates back to Norman times; Much Wenlock is home to a precursor to the modern Olympic Games, and the Wenlock Olympian Games are still held every year; and Shrewsbury was the birthplace of the Origin of Species’ Charles Darwin. For a break from history, hire a raft for a tour at Ironbridge Gorge, take to the slopes at the snowboarding and skiing centre in Telford, or get muddy at Severn Valley Quad Trekking, all within 35 minutes of Walnut Cottage.
