Local Area
Ludlow is a beautiful old market town. Here you will find the convenience of supermarkets, but the old town centre has a wide variety of charming shops, market, restaurants, cafes and pubs. There is also a modern leisure centre.
Craven Arms has the nearest supermarket, a few take-aways and some convenience shops.
A short drive from the cottages there are some pubs which offer good food.
Churches of several denominations can be found in Ludlow and Craven Arms. The local Diddlebury parish church has services every Sunday (times vary).
For nature lovers, there is an abundance of wildlife and beautiful places to walk/cycle – including walks directly from the cottages. Long Mynd and Stiperstones are well worth the 30–45-minute drive. And the Welsh mountains and coast are easily accessible for a day trip.
South Shropshire also offers many interesting old towns and historical sites. Ludlow Castle is spectacular and various other interesting castles can be explored after a pleasant drive. The nearby towns of Clun, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, and Bishops Castle all have character and charm of their own.
The historic county town of Shrewsbury is 45-minutes away.
