Nestled in between fruit trees and wildflowers, in a rolling green landscape. Wake up to spectacular views of the Shropshire hills and our lush wetland habitat, filled with reeds, rushes, and lots of dragonflies in summer. The bell tent has an internal groundsheet, coir mat & sheep skin rugs. A double bed, 'Emma' mattress & bedding is provided along with a sturdy plastic box to keep muddy boots dry outside! We have single camp beds with bedding available, let us know if you would like one in the tent.

Here you can buy local beer, homemade cider and apple juice, or homemade pies, ready meals and sustainably reared grass-fed meat from our onsite farm shop. Visit the pigs, ducks, chickens, bees, and cows and learn a little about sustainable, small-scale farming. Enjoy wonderful walks around our 100-acre farm, through woodland, wetland, heritage orchard and grassland; or use our farm as a base to explore local towns, castles, rivers or lakes.

You are welcome to explore the farm and visit our cows and pigs.There are also lots of walks around the farm including a loop that takes in Sweeney Fen. Water from the surrounding limestone hills seeps into the peat, making ideal ground conditions for several Shropshire rarities. Globeflower is found here, an Ice Age survivor at one of its most southerly points, clinging on in one or two wet places, its spherical flowers a soft, glowing yellow. In May the star-shaped flowers of bogbean appear, fringed petals opening white from dark pink buds. Thousands of fragrant orchids flower in early July; tall spikes of purple-pink, along with hundreds of dusky-petalled marsh helleborines, marsh orchids and wild angelica. Dragonflies, frogs and a rare, tiny, whorled snail called Vertigo lilljeborgi also thrive in these boggy conditions. We provide a map of the farm with this walk detailed.
Llanymynech rocks (5 minute drive or 15 minute walk) is a species rich grassland, dominated by spectacular disused limestone quarries. Mixed woodland and wonderful views. Offa’s Dyke path runs through the reserve. Great archaeological interest for limestone quarry industrial relics.
Llanrhaeadr Waterfall (Pistyll Rhaeadr) (20 minute drive) is often referred to as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. The waterfall is formed by the Afon Disgynfa falling in three stages over a 240-foot cliff-face, into the Afon Rhaeadr below. Stunning when frozen or semi-frozen! It is the highest waterfall in England or Wales with wonderful rock formations. Footpaths up to the top of the waterfall.
Chirk Castle (25 minute drive) was built in 1295 by Roger Mortimer de Chirk, uncle of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March as part of King Edward I's chain of fortresses across the north of Wales. It guards the entrance to the Ceiriog Valley. The property is notable for its gardens, with clipped yew hedges, herbaceous borders, rock gardens and terraces and surrounded by 18th century parkland. A prominent feature of the park is the earthwork of Offa's Dyke, which passes within 200 metres of the castle.
