An amazing CL in a beautiful part of Shropshire

We stayed for three nights in our campervan. We were met on arrival by Bruce who provided loads of information on the local area, including leaflets on places to eat and local walks. We met Anne later and she was just as welcoming. They were very helpful and lovely to talk to, but not intrusive. The site is extremely well kept with very spacious pitches, all on grass but well drained and level. Each pitch has electric hook up, with well maintained loo dump, bins and fresh water point. There are great views all around and, although about 250m from the A488, we didn't hear the traffic (which is light anyway). They have sheep and goats on the site and also keep chickens, ducks and quails. Eggs are for sale at the entrance and sometimes goat's cheese - we missed the cheese window so will have to return to try it! We enjoyed some lovely walks from the site, including into Bishop's Castle along part of the Shropshire Way. BC is a lovely little market town with loads of independent shops and six pubs (including two micro-breweries). There are plenty of places to visit and walk in the local area, but we liked the peace and quiet so much, we just walked from the site. I also enjoyed a lovely bike ride on quiet roads through some small villages; for those that like them there are plenty of steep hills to cycle up and down! Valais is exactly what we want from a CL; it's quiet, spacious, well-maintained and surrounded by beautiful countryside with plenty of places to visit. With lovely hosts and a relaxing atmosphere, it's definitely one we'll return to....for the goat's cheese!
