The River Onny murmurs past willow-fringed banks where Shropshire farmland meets the long shadow of Wenlock Edge, and this working farm site settles into the landscape with quiet permanence. Mornings arrive with birdsong and the distant bleat of sheep across open meadows.

Lower Lacon suits those seeking an unpretentious rural base in the Shropshire Hills AONB, ideal for walkers tackling the Shropshire Way or families wanting space without frills. You're in proper countryside here, where medieval market towns like Much Wenlock and Ludlow lie within easy reach, while the dramatic escarpment of Wenlock Edge offers ridge walks with views stretching to the Welsh borders.

The site keeps things straightforward—pitches for tents, campervans and caravans spread across level grassland, with toilet and shower blocks covering the basics. Year-round opening makes this a reliable option across seasons, and the farm setting means genuine quiet once the sun sets. Check about campfires when you arrive. It's simple, honest camping where the Shropshire landscape does the talking.

Shropshire Way - Wem to Whitchurch

Follows flat to gently rolling Shropshire countryside through quiet farmland and small villages between two market towns. Suitable for experienced walkers only due to the 25km distance – far too long for most families with young children, though the terrain itself is manageable and pushchair-friendly on paved village sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful rural views, historic field patterns, and the satisfaction of covering a substantial section of this long-distance tr

Shropshire Way - stage 12

Tackles 23km of varied Shropshire terrain with moderate climbs through woodland and open farmland between Wem and Grinshill. Not suitable for buggies due to length, stiles, and uneven ground; challenging for young children though older kids who regularly walk could manage it in sections. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Rewards with sweeping views across the Cheshire Plain and glimpses of Grinshill's distinctive sandstone hill, passing through quintessential market town scenery and

Winds gently through woodland and wetland on mostly flat, well-maintained paths with occasional boardwalk sections across the mosses. Perfect for families and pushchair-friendly for the most part, though some narrower stretches may require an all-terrain buggy. Dogs welcome to explore this peaceful nature reserve. Worth it for easy birdwatching, seasonal wildflowers, and a proper taste of Shropshire's rare lowland bog habitat without needing serious walking kit.
