Lovely C L

Really pleased with this CL. Fully serviced pitches. Very friendly owner. Very clean. Well looked after. Very quiet. Just dont park too far back on the pitch as the squirrels drop bits of tree onto the roof of the van. I wish all sites that I have visited were as well run.

Best Cl Site I've been on

This is without doubt the best CL site I have ever been on. The owner Brian and his wife Josie never stop looking after the site and their guest's. Every pitch has it’s own electric, fresh water and waste water. The site is situated just on the outskirts of Shrewsbury in a village called Withington and from here you have access to many tourist destinations within easy and close reach. The National trust property Attingham park is about a mile away. In the village of Withington about half mile walk the local pub the Hare & Hounds does some very pleasant real ale beers and the locals are very welcoming. They also do take away meals on Friday evening and Sunday lunch.

Fabulous site

A great cl with easy access to shrewsbury by car. A very quiet, well maintained site with friendly owners. A few nice pubs in the area, some walkable and others within a short driving distance. We will definitely use the site again!!

A jewel in Shropshire’s crown

We booked Brian’s delightful site for a couple of nights as a location to visit family as we were passing on a road trip. Pure luck that it was convenient, however once we had arrived we realised what a gem, as advertised, you can see the Wrekin! The site is in the country surrounded by tranquility, yet a few miles from Shrewsbury, National Trust estates and local history. We highly recommend this site for a peaceful and relaxing stay - but come in from Atcham, not Whitington for ease of access.

Fabulous CL

Along with friends, we spent last week at Wrekin View and can only echo the 5 star ratings from other members. The owners were friendly, nothing was too much trouble and they even allowed us to store our cycles in their shed. Upon arrival we were met by Brian and advised where to park informing us to keep well forward on the pitch to avoid acorns dropping on our roofs. There is lots to do and see in the area and unfortunately we ran out of time, we could have easily spent another week there. We shall definitely visit this site again. A big thank you from the 4 of us

Overall, a good stay

It seems slightly unfair to offer any somewhat negative comments, when the owner is so friendly, but this is a review after all, so I am telling it as I saw it. This is effectively an eight-pitch site, with the first three reserved for friends and family, with the CL beyond that, in the same field. The site is long and harrow, sloping down from left to right, and if there were only the five pitches, there would be plenty of space, but as it is we thought it was cramped, as evidenced by many campers having to park their cars in front of their vans, as there was insufficient room to the side. Pitches one to three had hardstandings, four and five are grassy, and slightly larger we thought, but of course these were taken when we arrived. We were allocated pitch 3, even though 1 and 2 were vacant, and I got the impression these were reserved for regulars. Unfortunately, our pitch was next to the elsan disposal point. Having got ourselves set up, we were bombarded by acorns from the tree above, so had to wind up the legs and move forward 6 feet. The owner was apologetic, and said this only usually happens later in the year, but there were acorn husks all across the gravel and grass near us. Security is tight to say the least, with a gate and a recorded voice bellowing 'you are being recorded by CCTV' every time I left the site on my morning jog. Recycling had to be bagged up before being left in the bin, meaning extra plastic, which seemed odd. We had booked a week and overall had an enjoyable stay, but it was not particularly cheap and I doubt we would stay here again, mainly for the cramped feeling we endured.

Lovely welcome,

We stayed with our motorhome. This is a very relaxed site and ideal for cycling. It is on cycle route 81. Brian made us feel very welcome and we would recommend it to all. The village of Upton Magna is only a short distance away if you need to pick up supplies. Thank you Brian for a lovely visit.

A Warm Welcome Awaits No2 May 2021

Stayed at this friendly CL back in 2018 and at long last have managed a return visit in May 2021. Lovely Chatty welcome, quiet, lovely views over the Wrekin, good walking, easy access to Shrewsbury, fully serviced pitches, elec, water and grey waste Pitches are slightly sloping, there are timber packers about so just be aware. Despite what a previous reviewer has said the site feels spacious and there is more than enough room for van awning and car.

Excellent CL, lovely owners, pretty and peaceful location

We enjoyed a week on this excellent CL in June booked at short notice with friends of ours. Brian and Josie are a lovely couple and nothing is too much trouble. The site is very peaceful, well maintained and has far reaching views over agricultural land to The Wrekin. Grass and hard standing pitches are all well maintained and have water and grey waste disposal on each. Access roads are narrow but OK if taken steadily. Plenty of ineresting things to do nearby though may need to drive to many of them. Thank you, we had a great time.
