Had to wait until 16 year old DD didnt want to come with us ( Adult Site) .... but it was so worth the wait. Peaceful and tranquil with lots of birds encouraged by the feeders. Booked after seeing photos on Facebook. Quick phone call to check and we were in ! We stayed at the end of Feb (2019) and arrived in glorious spring sunshine. We were met be the owners and were offered a choice of three pitches for our 8m MH. The one we chose was pretty much level but one of the other mhs on site was using blocks. The pitches are fully serviced hardstandings set around a lawn ( with garden furniture dotted here and there ... all well kept) . The lawned areas were very neatly cut and the gravel was clean too. The recycling and brown areas were descretely tucked away.. There is a little information hut jam packed with ideas and Brian kindly gave us the loan of an OS map of the area and directed us to walks from the site. We had a lovely farmland walk the first afternoon over towards the next valley and back. Unfortunately spring sunshine was replaced with grey the next day but with map in hand and picnic packed, we set off for Much Wenlock trying to keep to tracks and footpaths ( about 3miles) a very picturesque town even in drizzle. Unfortunately the Abbey grounds and Tourist Info office were closed , but we still followed the suggested walk about town and there are heaps of information plaques along the way. After a picnic lunch in the shelter of the old corn exchange building, we made our way up to Wenlock Edge and followed it back ( just past the CL) and a short double back along the road. Just over 9 miles in total including the pootling about in Wenlock... muddy boots, muddy dog and smiling faces all round . A gem of a CL with heaps to do/see without a car.

Hi Janine,

Thanks for your very kind review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and walking in the countryside. We are in talks with the National Trust and Shropshire Council about opening up a new footpath through the newly created nature reserve at the top of our lane. This would allow walkers to get access on to the disused railway line that goes into Much Wenlock. Also we have heard that a landowner on the other side of the B4371 may be willing for a new footpath to be opened up allowing easy access onto Wenlock Edge. This would create 2 new circular walks from Firs Cottage. We will update on the website when this happens, although it may not be until next year.

Thanks for choosing to stay with us and we look forward to seeing you both again soon.

Best regards

Brian and Alison
