Local Attractions
The walking on the Long Mynd and other Shropshire hills is unparalleled. There is everything between a gentle stroll and a serious hike. The World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, with its ten museums is in easy reach as are several National Trust Houses. Stokesay Castle in Craven arms is a favourite, probably the finest example of a fortified manor house in England. We are in easy striking distance of Ludlow, with its fine architecture and top class restaurants and Food Fair held in mid September.
Nearby are the remains of Wroxeter; the fourth largest English city in Roman Times, with its vineyard, where visits and tastings can be arranged.
Much Wenlock is a charming country town with several galleries as well as local shops, where the ruins of the Priory are well worth a visit.
Church Stretton is a nearby sleepy town with many family run businesses and a large Antique Warehouse to be explored.
Acton Scott Working Farm, as seen in the television series ‘Victorian Farms’, is a mere stone’s throw away and well worth a visit.
