About our club

Telford Naturist club was founded over 40 years ago on the site of a disused colliery situated on the outskirts of Telford in the beautiful county of Shropshire. The founding members had a vision of how they wished the club to develop into and due to their and many subsequent members’ hard work and effort over the last 40 + years the vison has spectacularly come to fruition.

Telford Naturist club is a private members club of around 250 members. Membership is by invitation only and all members join in with the clubs busy social life. They also voluntarily participate in the upkeep and maintenance of the club.
