The top 10 best UK campsites sites near Heritage Sites

This site, on the edge of Birmingham, is perfectly placed for day trips to Ironbridge Gorge, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

You can drive over in under an hour and spend a full day exploring the working museums, riverside walks and, of course, the bridge itself. The site is surrounded by woodland, so evenings feel calm after the bustle of the gorge.

Insider tip: Try the Blists Hill Victorian Town after 3pm, when the school groups have left, because you’ll get more space to enjoy the atmosphere.
