Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field
Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

This land of rolling hills, woods and rivers on the border with Wales is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Pitch your tent here and you’ll soon see why. You’ll be camping in the most beautiful part of a county that’s less populated than anywhere else in the country. Unsurprisingly, it was tucked among these hills that we found some of the best camping and glamping sites in Shropshire too.
