  • Steps from the Shropshire Union Canal
  • Adults-only and dog-friendly; canalside for dog walks
If you had thoughts on an ideal setting for a hol between England and Wales, Hadley Park might well be it. It's in the Shropshire countryside on the border with Wales, next to the Shropshire Union Canal, and a handsomely scenic walk from Whitchurch, Shropshire's oldest market town. Hadley Park is a family-owned and run site that's set up for adults only. It has a small pond where guests can fish – for free; a big sundeck overlooking the pond, and a fully licensed on-site café serving fresh local produce. You can also have your hair smartened up in the Hadley Park salon or arrange for an art class or private art tuition in the Waterside Art Studio: just enquire when booking using the details in your booking confirmation email. Amenities include a launderette and a washing-up area; there's also a chemical disposal point, and a modern well-kept toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. The park is adults-only and welcomes well-behaved dogs. A service station with fast food and coffee outlet is 400 yards away.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: An excellent location just outside Whitchurch, and easily found with the directions provided. The site is very well kept, and easy to maneuver around, and has a large open field and picturesque pond. The shower block is excellent, being warm, scrupulously clean and bright and airy. It also has a washing machine and dryer available at extra cost. We enjoyed walking along the canal which is situated just behind the site, and we also made use of the welcoming cafe. The staff and food were fabulous. Others have mentioned road noise, but we didn't find this an issue at all. We visited this location prior to our stay, when friends were camping there, and put it high on our must visit list.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Well positioned for walking into Whitchurch. All the way on the towpath or part towpath part footpath. Takes about 30 mins. As stated previously, the toilets are spotless and warm. Pitches are large. Check in was easy. The Cafe onsite is very good value. Eat there twice for breakfast. There can be some road noise but it did not spoil our trip.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The showers and toilets were spotlessly clean. Level pitches. Close to Aldi, Starbucks, McDonalds. Nice location by the side of the canal.

Disliked: We were informed that reception was only open until 3pm. We rushed to get there before 3. No-one around! We rang the site number and left a message for someone to ring us back. No-one got back to us! We parked on a pitch- not sure if that was the one allocated! Poor customer service.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: An idyllic site, well thought out, fabulous cafe, even a dog field for your furry friends to let off steam, our 2 dogs were more interested in sharing our breakfast rather than doing the agility course haha....we pitched up at the side of the fishing pool for New Year...absolutely gorgeous...everywhere is clean and the toilets and shower block is pristine. We will be back! Thanks Paul x

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: The toilets and showers were spotless as was the laundry/dishwashing room. Lovely view of the lake, open skies and the Llangollen Canal right on the doorstep. The folks in the cafe are very welcoming and it was great to be able to have a meal on site.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Toilets very clean

Disliked: Driveway to site full of unavoidable deep potholes causing internal damage to our van despite driving very slowly No contact from site owners whatsoever - no knowledge of which pitch to set up in, emergency contact number - no answer to call or reply to voice message and texts. Completely unmanned Had no choice but choose a pitch ourselves and hope for the best ! Felt like imposters ! Huge pools of water around the caravan and site as ground very uneven. Will not be returning or recommending, sorry.

Local attractions

Staying close to home from Hadley Park, the old Shropshire town of Whitchurch is less than a mile away, and the walks of the Sandstone Trail as well as the hacks of the Bishop Bennet Way are easily accessible via the Shropshire and Union Canal on site. Elsewhere, several famed Shropshire and Cheshire sights are within 20 miles of the park, like Chester Cathedral and the city's Roman ruins and amphitheatre; Chester Zoo and Chester Racecourse; the fab follies of Hawkestone Park, and the llamas, alpacas and 50 acres of greenery of Cholmondeley Castle Gardens. Nearby Shrewsbury is famed for its annual flower show and for its Darwin Trail commemorating the life and work of evolution dude Charles Darwin who was born in the town. More modernly, a good range of plays are held at the new Severn Theatre and several riverside pubs and restaurants are around at which to while the night away. The bars, cafés and independent shops of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Llangollen are within driving distance: other top town picks are a picnic in Riverside Park, a stroll along Victoria Promenade, and a steam straight ahead on the Llangollen Railway.
