Upper Duffryn CL is in a very peaceful location on an organic working farm in the Clun Forest area of South Shropshire. It is situated by the River Clun in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The site itself is easily accessible and is flat and mowed regularly, with five electric hook-ups and space for awnings.
There are many excellent walks in the vicinity including Offa's Dyke (just 1.5 miles away), The Jack Mytton Way and The Shropshire Way, and other walks starting directly from the site. There are also annual walking festivals in the local colourful country towns of Clun and Bishop's Castle. Cyclists are also well catered for and routes are available locally around the quiet and often traffic free roads.
Ludlow is a short drive away for those who enjoy the food festivals (May and September) and the regular farmers markets. There are numerous castles and hill forts in the area, including Powys Castle, Clun, Stokesay Court and Bury Ditches Hill Fort. Blists Hill Victorian Town is about an hour's drive away and is one of the ten Ironbridge Gorge Museums and is a fascinating place to find out about Victorian times. The Heart of Wales Railway line runs 128 miles between Shrewsbury and Swansea and there are stations nearby at Knighton and Knucklas.

Tranquil Country Retreat
Upper DuffrynWe stopped here for a week in August and we really enjoyed our stay.
From the A483 we stayed on the B4368, declining the satnav offer of a single track, steep, winding shortcut that would have been a problem with the 'van. Stay on the 2-lane B road!
Although there wasn't a TV or phone signal the CL's specialist WiFi service made up for this and we were able to stream radio and TV and use web calling on the phones.
The Crown at Newcastle-on-Clun was 1.5miles along the B4368 and served great beers and ciders and good food too. For a further stretch of the legs take the 5 mile circular route over the hills to Newcastle and back along the B road.
This is great walking country and our most amenable host Delphine had a binder and selection of maps available to help with route planning.
A little further along the B road we found Clun with more places to eat and a well stocked Spar, where we found some Shropshire Blue cheese - one of our mission objectives!
With no major roads nearby, this really is peace and quiet in a great rural setting - a well run CL with very helpful owners on hand for any info needed.
Definitely worth a visit!
Lovely, peaceful site
Upper Duffryn
We stayed here for 4 days over the Easter weekend, our third visit. It is a lovely site, with plenty of space between pitches, and good facilities. And it's so peaceful! Delphine is extremely helpful, and having reliable wifi is a real bonus. We spent our time cycling (e-bikes!!) and it was glorious, though challenging at times, even with batteries. Highlights were the rides to Bishops Castle (Happy Baps is highly recommended for lunch), Clun, Ludlow, and over the border to Knighton.
Thanks very much - we'll be back!

Lovely Area and people
Upper Duffryn
Stayed on the CL for eight nights at the end of September very easy to set up and a warm welcome from Delphine a lovely lady , the CL is situated in a beautiful area its a short ride down to Clun from which there are many walks as there is also from offsite. We were a bit dubious about traveling around too much as we struggled to find a petrol station with any diesel but we still really enjoyed the break and would certainly return again thank you Delphine and Ted,
Peaceful, well run CL.

If you want a “Get away from it all “ location, then this is a place for you!
Admittedly there is no tv signal available, but wi-fi is provided. Delphine has developed a little haven of peace and tranquillity.
The surrounding area provides ample walking opportunities such as the Offas Dyke , Shropshire Way or the Jack Mytton Way close by. The lanes nearby are so quiet, that they alone can form good walking circuits. (One walk we did taking in about 5 miles of lane, and only 2 vehicles passed us!)
Clun nearby is worth a visit, and if you have the inclination, driving around the glorious Shropshire countryside can provide small towns and villages to investigate.
One reviewer made a “tongue in cheek “comment that Upper Dyffryn should be kept a secret , l agree on the one hand, but it has to be put on the list of must does!
A gem of a place.
Upper Duffryn
We’ve just spent 6 nights at Upper Duffryn Farm. The site is beautifully located in the valley with glorious views from each pitch. The area is well maintained, very good facilities and spotlessly clean.
Delphine gave us a warm welcome and is most helpful sharing local knowledge.
It’s a very quiet and tranquil spot, beautifully located on the stream, nestling in the valley. We heard the owls hooting at night and enjoyed many miles of fabulous walking. It was lambing season which made it even more special. We booked for 4 nights and stayed for 6 and we’re tempted to stay longer.
What a gem of a place.
Thank you, Delphine.
