Relax in a well-appointed and comfortable Country Inn nestling in an area of outstanding natural beauty and within easy reach of the county town of Shrewsbury.
Set in the heart of the quiet Shropshire countryside beneath the landmark known as the 'Callow' this is your ideal base of enjoying a land steeped in myth and legend and with a fund of literary connections.
The local countryside is truly beautiful and will delight everyone, from the vigorous walker to those who prefer a gentle amble. Many of the surrounding hills are criss-crossed by public footpaths and close by are Cordon Hill, the ancient 'Mitchells Fold' stone circle and the spectacular Stiperstones ridge which is a National Nature Reserve. The remains of lead mining can still be seen in the hills and valleys around, which has been carried out here from Roman times until the last century.
Within a short drive is a wealth of unspoilt villages and quaint towns; Bishop's Castle with its charming architecture and array of antique shops, sleepy Clun and its Norman castle, Church Stretton, Montgomery and its castle, Welshpool, Powis Castle - all are just minutes away.
And of course, the larger town of Shrewsbury is close by with its top quality shopping and unequalled wealth of medieval half-timbered buildings and 'shuts'.
Some local activities and attractions: Hill Walking, Pony Trekking, Fishing, Riding, Historic Industrial Architecture, Bird Watching, Cross Country Hill Biking, Cycling, Gliding (off the Long Mynd), Minsterley Shooting Ranges, Bishop's Castle Leisure Centre, The Welshpool & Llanfair Caereinion Light Railway.
