Cranberrymoss Touring Park

cranberry moss touring park is located midway between Oswestry and Shrewsbury with easy access from the A5. Our park is open throughout the year for campers, their families, and their pets to come along and explore this beautiful part of Shropshire. We offer 65 pitches and welcome motorhomes, touring campervans, and tents onto the site.

Free Wi-Fi is provided for campers and we have two bus services at the site entrance. Electric hook-ups are available for hardstanding and grass pitches and the centrally heated facility block also accommodates laundry, washing up, and chemical waste disposal facilities. The small on-site shop sells local products.

The site has a social room “The Barn” and campers are welcome to join our weekly Cuppa & Cake mornings and our monthly Quiz nights held throughout the summer months. We enjoy celebrating the sites’ birthday in August and have four nights of fun leading up and including New Years Eve. We also have a Fish & Chip van visiting the site most Fridays from April – September.

There are views over nine counties from the castle at Chirk, one of four properties in the area managed by the National Trust and music lovers can enjoy the annual Eisteddfod at Llangollen during July.

Offa’s Dyke earthwork was constructed in the eighth century to mark the Welsh border. Today it is part of a National Trail for walkers. The nearby Pistyll Rhaedr Falls are considered one of the seven wonders of Wales.

Park Hall Countryside Experience is a great family day out – there’s a Victorian schoolroom complete with teacher– while the rest of the farm is open for you to explore and get involved with. During the summer Park Hall’s Maisie’s Maize Maze is very popular and their recently opened trenches are thought provoking.

Llanymynech Heritage Area is the place to go for those who love nature and birds; colourful orchids and peregrine falcons are the main attraction, but there is much more to see and do. The area includes a nature reserve with peregrine falcons and wild orchids. A Hoffman kiln, originally for creating quicklime, is accessible to walkers.
