Why stay here ...

Ian, Becky, and family welcome you to their site, we welcome couples, families, and dogs.

We are located between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster, one mile from the village of Alveley on a quiet country lane overlooking the Severn Valley with stunning Views of the Clee Hill, Brown Clee, and the Wyre Forest.

The historical old coal mining village of Alveley has several traditional local public houses serving food with outside seating areas, an Indian restaurant and takeaway and a Chinese take away along with a well-stocked convenience store.

The Severn Valley is home to the beautiful River Severn, the famous Severn Valley Railway which runs through glorious countryside following the River Severn between the historic market towns of Bridgnorth and Bewdley, finishing in Kidderminster operating every day throughout the spring, summer and autumn.

Canoe trips are very popular on the River Severn, from Bridgnorth to Upper Arley, with a stop off for lunch. We are on cycle Route 45, with great links to other trails throughout the area. Walking and hiking is very well catered for with great public footpaths, river walks and forest trails all within the local area.

The picturesque village of Upper Arley on the river, boasts riverside tearoom, the Harbour public house serving food with outside seating area, Upper Arley Train Station taking you back in time to the days of the steam trains and The Arboretum with its stunning gardens and tearoom.

Perfect CL with stunning Views

The Keepings
Just returned from 6 nights at the Keepings. Ian and Becky were most welcoming and helpful throughout but not intrusive. the site is a large field, with some slope on it, but kept immaculately and recently cut. Fully enclosed which enabled us to allow our dog to roam when we were the only unit on site. If peace and tranquillity is what you are looking for, then its here. We could here the sheep bleating from about 5 fields away and the skies were full of birdsong of all types. The views are stunning, we have visited CLs for the last 7 tears and this is by far the best, 360 degrees across the Shropshire and Worcestershire countryside. The site is very clean , has good water pressure and a waste disposal. there is also a toilet for use available in the back of the bungalow. The entrance is easy allowing to come off the road before entering the gateway. The lanes to it are narrow but no real issue and less than a mile. In the area there is far too much to do, we visited the Rock Houses at Kinver Edge, Dudmaston Hall, Kidderminster and looked at the Severn Valley Steam Railway but had to leave that for next time. We will certainly be back again, probably next year, so we can enjoy this super site again. Thanks to Ian and Becky for a great time

Peaceful retreat with amazing views!

The Keepings
Had a wonderful weekend stay here! The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful but left me to enjoy my space. It's a very spacious site, really just an open-plan field at the moment but plenty of room. Easy to find and close enough to Alveley and the main road, but far enough from both to be lovely and quiet. The view of the Clee Hills is AMAZING as were the sunsets and stars! The field is well fenced and gated so absolutely perfect for dogs; nice clean loo and sink too. There's a lot to explore in the immediate area - Severn Valley Country Park is literally down the road near Averley, there are TWO arboretums, and Dudmaston House and Estate all just a few miles, a little further and you've got West Midlands Safari park and the beautiful Wyre Forest. Some good cafes around too! Only slight issue is that it's a slopey field so bring your levelling blocks (the owners said they will have some available to borrow in future)!
