Stretton House Campsite

40 units · Motorhomes, Tents6 acres · England
If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. There are basic facilities including a mobile freshwater toilet block with male and female facilities and a water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).

Campsites near Ludlow guide

Overview

Set amid the rolling hills of Shropshire, the area around Ludlow offers a peaceful retreat for hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching. Just over an hour drive from Birmingham, Ludlow offers a charming escape from the big city. Admire longhaired fallow deer and nuthatches on trails through Mortimer Forest, or go horseback riding along bridle paths in Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for sweeping views of the moors. Sleep overnight in the meadows of Malvern Hills AONB while farm camping, or enjoy comforts like soft beds and kitchenettes in a tiny home or glamping pod closer to Ludlow.

Where to go

Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Over 50 hills in Shropshire Hills AONB are accessible by public rights of way, making it easy to enjoy new adventures on every trip. Walk and cycle the extensive paths, go horseback riding on the moors, or canoe in River Severn to see the park by waterway. Camping and caravanning are welcome at designated sites in the park, and shuttle buses run from May to October for convenient access.

Mortimer Forest

With 1,000 hectares of green woodland, Mortimer Forest provides a peaceful home for warblers, nuthatches, butterflies, and fallow deer. Stroll forest paths and admire wildlife, then stop for lunch in one of the park’s picnic facilities. Designated camping pitches offer spots for overnight stays in the park, with options for rustic tent camping, tiny home rentals, and glamping tents under trees.

Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Summit 425 metres to the peak of Worcestershire Beacon, where hikers can see as far as Wales on a clear day. Walk and cycle past an array of historic sites, including the Holy Well—one of the world’s oldest spring-water bottling plants, as well as castles and ancient boundaries established by King Charles I. Find tent pitches on farms in the AONB, as well as private field and meadow camping spots for caravans, tents, and even glamping accommodations.
