Perfectly placed for walking in the Shropshire Hills! 8 mins drive from Stiperstones and the Wild Moors! Shrewsbury was a lovely town with all the amenities you needed and had quite a few plant based or lots of vegetarian options to eat. Plus it all the beautiful architecture! Unfortunately the weather wasn't kind, but the Shropshire Hills and lovely little villages like Clun and Bishops Castle were a revelation and we will certainly be coming back!

To access nearby villages and further afield you have to negotiate a lot of very narrow, winding, single track lanes with some tight passing places. Also the local is only open on restricted hours.
