Caravanners may soon be able to enjoy a little luxury when travelling to Shropshire, as plans are underway to build a five-star touring park in the county.

According to the Ludlow and Tenbury Wells Advertiser, the site would be located on the outskirts of Ludlow and would accommodate over 100 pitches across 20 acres of land between the A49 and the River Teme.

Morris Leisure intends to submit a planning application for the caravan park in February next year following a local consultation.

Edward Goddard, managing director at the group, told the newspaper that Ludlow is now recognised as a national tourism destination and insisted there is a “pressing need” for a quality touring site near the town.

“We believe we have found an ideal riverside location for the park because it is well screened and peaceful, yet with good access to the old A49 and within walking distance of the town,” he remarked.

Morris Leisure already operates several five-star sites across the Shropshire countryside and the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales.
