Brow Farm Campsite, located in Ratlinghope,<br />

west of the Longmynd, is a diverse and<br />

surprising Area of Outstanding Natural<br />

Beauty, ever changing and thrilling to explore.<br />

The campsite will take many people back to<br />

their childhood, sinking ankle deep into old<br />

wildflower meadows, which our grandparents<br />

took for granted.<br />

The owner, John Sankey, wants to preserve<br />

the old meadows and has planted hundreds<br />

of trees to encourage the wildlife and provide<br />

shade for the future. Birds are abundant, in<br />

fact, it is a birdwatchers’ paradise! Owls can be<br />

heard and seen at night.<br />

Chemicals and artificial fertilisers are not<br />

used on Brow Farm Campsite. The wildflower<br />

meadow is cut for hay after the flowers have<br />

seeded in late July. The Shropshire Way runs<br />

alongside the farm. Campers are welcome to<br />

camp anywhere they choose on the 12-acre<br />

campsite, allowing you to find the perfect<br />

pitch!<br />

Motor homes and caravans are welcome.<br />
