Things to do

Shropshire has so much to offer, from spectacular walks, world class cycling, award winning pubs and breweries, fantastic museums and much more....

Walking & Running

The Long Mynd AONB is an area of 20 square miles of heath and moorland with steep valleys and streams leading to charming villages. A few miles away the Stiperstones nature reserve contrasts a dramatic ridge with rocky outcrops such as the Devils Chair. You can plan a full day out or do a gentle walk on the tops.

Other popular hills include Corndon, Caradoc and Bury Ditches. Adrian is happy to advise on routes and good places to break for lunch.

Cycling

Whether you like riding along beautiful country lanes or tearing down fun single track, Shropshire has something for every cyclist.

Mountain Biking
There are many trails for all abilities on the Long Mynd which are all riding distance from the cottage.
Stiperstones and Eastridge mountain bike forest are also a short drive away.

There's a fantastic variety of gravel tracks, bridleways and green lanes to fulfil any gravel bikers needs!

Road
Surrounded by beautiful rolling hills there are plenty of routes you can do right from the cottage. If you're after more of a challenge, some of Britains steepest road climbs are on our door step including the Burway and Asterton Bank.
