A little gem in theShropshire Hills

Woodside Farm
We stayed here in June 2022 and realised we had found a lovely place. The field is large so there is plenty of space for each caravan. The place was spotless. It is only a short drive to Church Stretton and the Long Mynd. The proprietor was very friendly and came to greet us. In the evenings we watched red kites and buzzards flying around. There is a very old pub atCardington but we did not actually visit it. At night we could not hear a thing and the night skies were beautiful because there are no buildings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

A Little Piece of Heaven

Woodside Farm
I write this review, with mixed emotions, as I am revealing the location of one of my favourite CL’s, but I think others should know about it. Woodside Farm is a little piece of heaven, located in the peaceful Shropshire Hills, it offers many things for the lovers of the British countryside. Its is just such a relaxing and quiet location to get away from the stresses of daily life. The site offers great views towards Wenlock Edge with the Clee Hills in the distance. Visitors always get a warm welcome from Pat and the family who simply wish for members of the club to enjoy their break. On site there is a very nice B&B ( AirB&B for booking ) so if you want to bring some none caravanning family along with you, here is your option. The grass is kept short across the large site. The 16amp hook-ups are along the edge of the field, allowing for wide spacing when in use. There are two water taps available with good pressure. There is a slope on the site, and some of the pitches need levelling blocks if you want to be orientated in a specific direction. We have easily got on and off the site with the caravan in damp conditions with a bit of care. There has been considerable improvement on the entry to the site, with the installation of a new cattle grid and gates, answering the comments made by earlier reviewers. There is a small garden style toilet for use by caravaners, just by the CDP. Remember to take your torch. The final approach of around half a mile from Gretton is narrow, with a few passing places, but is very very quiet and we have navigated it easily with a large single axle van. Certainly a traditional CL, with a warm welcome, and with so many people there who return for further visits. You only have to sample it to realise why they do. "We will be Back"

Peaceful site

I feel I must mention this, if you have a large unit or coachbuilt motorhome the 2.5 mile lane to the site is very narrow both our mirrors were hitting vegetation, and there's very few places to pull in if you are in a meet situation. Having said that if you make the effort it's a lovely peaceful site and Mrs Evans makes you very welcome. Thank you Mrs Evans for your kindness

Peaceful and relaxing

Woodside Farm
Spent 3 nights here over a bank holiday weekend in our campervan having booked at short notice. Proved to be a great find! Mrs Evans was very welcoming and site had all the facilities we needed. Site is large grassy field. Slight incline. Levelling ramps recommended Village pub just over a mile away. We did a couple of bike tours which gave a good overview of the area. If you want a peaceful and relaxing site I would highly recommend.

A Little bit of Paradise

Woodside Farm
We stayed on this generous site June 2019 and it was chosen for its close proximity to Church Stretton town and hills, Ludlow and Shrewsbury. We were not disappointed. Be warned that the approach road to this site and the double gate arrangement at the end of the farm drive is challenging but worth it, as it is the most peaceful and beautiful location. What is there not to like about this gem? The local pub/restaurant The 2Royal Oak in Cardington is first class (but book a table) and they welcome well behaved dogs (and people!). Mrs Evans, the site owner is charming. The toilet facility is quaint and you will need a torch for late evening trips . . . but then we like quirky things! We recommend the peacefulness and amazing views so take your binoculars ! We will be back for sure !
