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 />
