The morning mist rolls off the Shropshire hills here, settling low over hedge-lined lanes that feel properly rural — this is borderland country, all quiet farms and ancient woodland.

Crosslanes takes tents, campervans and caravans, so you'll find a mix of campers — families making the most of half-term, couples touring the Marches, maybe a few walkers tackling the Shropshire Way. The site sits in countryside that rewards slow exploration: market towns with timber-framed higgledy-piggledy streets, Iron Age hillforts, and miles of footpaths through working farmland. It's the kind of spot where you lose phone signal and don't really mind.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so worth checking what's available when you book — same goes for campfires, which need confirming on arrival. The vibe feels low-key and traditional rather than glamping-slick, the sort of place where you pitch up, unwind, and let Shropshire's gentle hills do the rest.

Shropshire Way - stage 14

Follows undulating farmland and woodland paths between Wem and Grinshill, featuring several moderate climbs and occasionally muddy stretches after rain. The 22km length makes it too demanding for young children or buggies—stick to shorter sections if needed. Dogs welcome but keep them leashed near livestock, which you'll encounter frequently crossing working farmland. Worth doing for the panoramic views from Grinshill Hill's sandstone escarpment and the peaceful, quintessentially Shropshire coun

Shropshire Way - stage 13

Follows the River Severn through flat meadows and gentle farmland between Montford Bridge and Shrewsbury, finishing with easy canal towpath walking. Suitable for families, though the distance is long – consider doing half. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Buggies fine on the towpath sections but trickier across fields. Lovely riverside scenery and a peaceful finish into the county town make this a rewarding low-level walk.

Shropshire Way - stage 15

Follows a challenging 21km section through varied Shropshire countryside with multiple steady climbs and descents—definitely not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome on this long-distance trail that typically crosses farmland, woodlands and quiet lanes. Rewards committed walkers with sweeping views across the Shropshire Hills and glimpses of the county's quintessential patchwork landscapes, though stamina needed for the full distance.
