About Castle Farm Holidays Shropshire
Castle Farm is a small, family run site, in the heart of Shropshire. Here glamping accommodation is sited next to a wooded dingle, and if you are lucky, you can hear owls hooting, woodpeckers tapping and buzzards flying overhead. It's ideally situated to visit the whole county, Cheshire and North Wales. There are four lovely cosy wooden pods, with several different interiors to suit families, couples, and friends. The Willow pod has the added bonus of its own hot tub. You'll also find one lovely shepherd's hut with a hot tub too. Each has electricity, plus a fridge, kettle and microwave, and an electric fire for those chillier days. Outside is a picnic bench where you can dine in the fresh air. Dogs are welcome to join you in all accommodations.

My 13yr old and I stayed for two nights in the beech pod. It was a lovely, peaceful site with clean facilities. The pod had comfy beds, the fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle were great to have. There were a lot of places to visit within a 20 minute drive. Chirk Castle and Wrexham are well worth a visit. We had a great couple of days, made even better by the sunshine.
Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful setting

The pod was exactly as described and the perfect accommodation for our first ever glamping trip! Everything was spotless and the location was beautiful.

Things to do on site and in the Ellesmere area
In the local area you'll find, the meres at Ellesmere, all the fun of horse riding, quad bike rides and horse drawn canal boats along the Llangollen and Montgomery Canals.
If you're a big fan of steam trains, Llangollen will suit you perfectly and for thrill seekers it also has white water rafting, and a lovely walk up to Castell Dinas for great views over Llangollen. For younger children there is Park Hall Countryside Experience at Whittington, Bewilderwood nr Malpas.
For Watersport fans there is Alderford Lake at Whitchurch for paddleboarding etc.
The site can give you the details of a company that will drop off bikes to the site for you to hire, so you can pedal off and explore without needing your car.
Ellesmere has its mere (lakes) where you can hire boats in the summer, walk around the mere, visit the play area, take a picnic to eat in the gardens, or have a coffee at the Boathouse.
Oswestry has a Countryside Experience at Park Hall, great for the children to meet the animals, and even have a history lesson by visiting the WW1 trenches.
Chirk is the place to have a walk along the canal, cross the aqueduct and walk through the tunnel. Step back in time and visit Chirk Castle.
Slightly further afield is the Designer Outlet village of Cheshire Oaks, and the Blue Planet Aquarium.
For fans of National Trust properties, there are a range of castles and stately homes- Erddig Hall, Attingham Park and Powys Castle.
The market town of Oswestry is close by, with its indoor and outdoor markets. Cae Glas Park and independent shops can be found here.
In the small village of Erbistock there are two pubs in picturesque settings, The Cross Foxes and The Boat, both set on the banks of the River Dee. If you love trying other homey local pubs, The Poachers at Chirk is by the canal, and has also has a children's play area.
Other fun ideas:
- Mountain bike trails over the Llandegla Moors
- Golf courses around Oswestry
- Fishing
- Chester Zoo
