Hiking Trails
The Wrekin is a prominent summit located near Telford, offering picturesque hiking trails and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. This iconic landmark, once home to an Iron Age fort, is easily accessible from the M54 motorway and attracts hikers from both local and distant areas. The hill's formation can be traced back to volcanic activity, resulting in a diverse range of igneous rocks. While the sides are densely wooded, the open summit features remnants of the ancient Iron Age fort.
This is such a great hill climb and very peaceful once you reach the top. The walk up the hill is not too difficult but you will require a fair fitness level to do it without struggle. There is a nice quaint half way house half way up that let's you know you are only half way up even though you may think you are nearly at the top surely 🤬🤣. The second half of the walk up is the hardest but also the best as the views become really beautiful and air is really fresh. You can see for miles once at the top on a clear day it is definitely worth the climb up to see the landscape from up there it truly is a great experience.

Parking charges are card only, some free spaces before the car park but they go quickly No other amenities are available at the car park - amenities available at the half way house Cross the main road onto the start of main track, walk up is longer and steeper than you think, trig and top visited- excellent views across the surrounding areas, definitely worth a visit if in the area

National Trust - Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd is a picturesque site located between Church Stretton and the Long Mynd in the heart of Shropshire Hills AONB. It's known for its heather-covered hills, abundant wildlife, and various outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and horse riding. The area offers breathtaking hikes, cycling trails, and birdwatching opportunities due to its proximity to the stunning heath and moorland plateau of the Long Mynd.
We visited this beautiful spot today with the family, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The location is absolutely stunning — surrounded by nature with breathtaking views everywhere you look. We did a 45-minute hike to reach the waterfalls, and it was totally worth the effort. The trail was manageable and scenic, making the walk enjoyable for all of us. Once we reached the waterfalls, the view was just incredible — peaceful, refreshing, and picture-perfect. Along the way and near the starting point, there were some cozy coffee shops where we grabbed drinks and snacks, which added a nice touch to the day. It’s a fantastic place for a day out, whether you're into nature walks, photography, or just looking to relax and unwind with your loved ones. Highly recommended

It is a very beautiful place for hiking and picnicking. Lots of greenery. Best place for a family outing. Nice place to play for kids with pebbles and water flowing. When you go upstairs for a hike you will find sheep and horses. Also, there is a small lake where I saw people swimming.

Martin M — Google review
What a wonderful and stunning place to go. Perfect for hikers, walkers, dogs and families. There are 3 main walking routes, the easiest being the reservoir, there is a steep hill up to it. The waterfall walk was lovely but be aware, there are lots of large rocks and some scrambling involved if you want to take the route all around. Most people walked up to the waterfall and then back. Third is the big track which will give you a good challenge. Will come here again for the views and maybe try the whole route next time.
Myma H — Google review
We did the waterfall walk, which has great views at the top, and lots of small waterfalls before the main one. There hasn't been much rain recently, so they were fairly quiet, but still a lovely walk. Saw several ponies with foals and lots of sheep. The trail is steep and rocky, with some gravel paths, so walking boots/shoes are recommended, especially on wet days.
Steve B — Google review
Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd is a truly beautiful place to visit. The scenery is stunning, with rolling hills, peaceful streams, and plenty of wildlife. Along the way, you’ll often see sheep, horses, and a variety of wild birds, which makes the walk feel even more connected to nature. It’s a very popular tourist attraction, and for good reason. Parking is available on site at £6 for the whole day, which is reasonable given the facilities and the length of time you’ll likely want to spend exploring. There’s also a café where you can grab a coffee or treat yourself to some ice cream, which is a nice touch after a walk. The area has a romantic, tranquil feel, perfect for couples or families looking to relax and enjoy the outdoors. However, you can't make any sort of fire like BBQ or using Gas etc The walk up to the waterfall is a highlight, but the path can get slippery, so good shoes are recommended. It’s worth noting that the route to the waterfall isn’t suitable for those with limited mobility, though the wider landscape and greenery can still be enjoyed without the climb. For the average walker, reaching the waterfall takes around 40 minutes. We brought our own snacks and had a lovely time sitting and soaking in the views. Unfortunately, one upsetting moment really disrupted what would otherwise have been a peaceful evening. Despite clear signs throughout the valley asking visitors to keep dogs under control due to grazing animals, we witnessed a sheep being attacked by a dog whose owner had no regard for the rules. The poor sheep was injured, and to make matters worse, the irresponsible owner left without helping. We reported the incident to the National Trust staff, and I hope the sheep received the care it needed. It’s deeply frustrating that such incidents happen, and I sincerely hope that owners who allow this are held accountable. Overall, this is a wonderful place to visit, full of natural beauty and charm. Just please – if you bring a dog, respect the signs and keep them on a lead so that everyone, including the wildlife, can enjoy this special landscape safely.

One of the most beautiful walks I have ever been on. The valley and hills were beautiful, the views were amazing, and the animals were lovely. Despite taking the most horrible drive up the mountain, the rest of the experience was truly wonderful.

Wonderful little spot but make sure you're wearing suitable clothes. More fool us for not doing our research beforehand but we attempted the path to Lightspout Waterfall. A great, scenic route with some stream hopping and clambering over rocks. Just don't do it in jeans and trainers.

Stiperstones is a historic hill with unique rocky outcrops that provide stunning panoramic views and an accessible trail for all. The ridge, located northeast of the Long Mynd, features jagged quartzite summit tors formed nearly 500 million years ago due to constant freezing and thawing. The Stiperstones to Devils Chair walk is highly regarded and offers a circular loop from Stiperstones village.
Views for days! 🌄☀️😎 Really fun scramble around the Stiperstones. Stopped for lunch in the Devil's Chair. Hope he doesn't mind. 🤟🏻😈

Awesome day hike, spectacular views! The trail is not marked clearly (atleast for our American experience). One access is from the Bog visitor centre. After you park the car, look for the viewpoint sign, and go up. Once you get to the stones, the climbing and views - miles of grasslands, blue sky - make it all well worth it. We went in Feb, the wind was strong, and it was fairly cold. Grab warm layers, and a beanie. As you trample along, remember that you are walking on stones 500 million old!

This is a great place to walk with some iconic views and landmark rocks to spot along the ridge. The notable rocks are Cranberry, Manstone, Devil's Rock and Shepherd's Rock, as well as the Castle Ring hillfort towards the northern end of the ridge. Pathways lead from the parking areas up to the top. Parking is available at The Bog Visitor Centre and at Snailbeach.

A great day for a stride out with warm sun and a slight breeze. Conditions also good for the Red Kites to spiral arround the uppermost rocks. I also saw a common Lizzzard who had been basking on a railway sleeper step near green hill. He scurried into the heather on my approach. There is a memorial plaque to a fallen Whittley bomber crew from 2nd WW at the bottom of the hill. Its worth a visit just to walk in a different kind of landscape ! We had good views all round !

Caer Caradoc sits the Shropshire Hills an area of outstanding beauty. Close to the town of Church Stretton. But I decided to park at the lovely village of Cardington and park at the village hall and pay I voluntary price of £2 to park. The village of Cardington is just picture, perfect with a local pub. But the walk up to Caer Caradoc to the base of the hill takes you up a main road, then a very hilly dirt track. Perfect in warm spring sunshine but more challenging in the wet weather .From the bottom of hill is an extremely steep climb with little foot holes and rocky shingle.Good footwear is an absolute must .The pathway continues up at meanders, up .This climb is not for the unfit or the person who's not used to hiking. Once at the top, you are treated to fantastic views .Rocky outcrops and fantastic views of Shropshires and beyond .It can be exposed in the winter months. But I went up on a very warm, sunny spring day .

Stunning! We parked at a lay-by on the B4371, which is just up the road from Church Stretton. We walked up the gravel road towards the farm, at the top of the hill once through the gate/sty (where the turf is in the middle of the road) there is a gate on the left which leads you to a nice downhill walk in the edge of the woodland.. with the view of Caradoc approaching.. we took the paty to the right to reach the top. Absolutely stunning views 👌 The Lawley is just across the way too which is another beautiful walk 👌

When beginning the trail, hikers should take the path into the field on the right instead of following the signposts to the left. This marks the start of an exciting journey through beautiful landscapes and charming surroundings.

Brown Clee Hill, the highest hill in Shropshire, stands at 540m and is topped with dolerite locally known as Dhustone. The geological structure has led to industrial exploitation, with coal pits, quarries, small reservoirs, and communication masts scattered across the hill. It offers stunning dog-friendly walks and a circular trail that takes about three hours to complete.
Wow what an experience!!! I love clee hill. Always go to the other hill, titterstone clee hill with the radars on, but I've always been so intrigued as to what was on the other hill opposite so I decided to visit!! I will say it's a huggeeee climb up to the top if you don't want to drive up there as it does seem a bit sketchy with some of the pot holes at the top and muddy slopes at the start. Talking about driving up to the top. There is no specific sign saying you can't drive up there but just to keep the bottom gate closed. Limited parking at the top. Also very very steep !! Thought I was breaking my Knees walking back down. If you don't want to park right at the top there's a point half way up the hill where I can see cars have parked before. The view at the top is so worth it however. There are old ruins, the satellite station (I think) haven't done much research into this hill like clee hill. All I know it was used to mine coal very far back in time. You can see old track slightly at some points. Also the beacon is very unique. I thought it was a well at first! Edit: the gate where the road goes up is sometimes locked with chains. There is one bench 😂 to sit on but I guess you can sit in the buildings. And on the grass when it's dry weather. Unluckily for me I visited in the frost and freezing weather. Parking very limited at top, I parked on the side of the main road just before the walk up to the top. Entrance is large gate by a small house after the farm. With the abandoned tractor thing 😂

Simply one of the most stunning Shropshire Hills I have climbed. The main car park just seems to be on the side of the road .There are various pathways up to the summit, which are steep, very steep ,especially the tarmacked road ,which seems to be access, just for telecommunications engineers . There is a series of telecommunications tower's, at the top on two separate peaks. The top of Brown Clee Hill is stunning but can be extremely exposed. Wear sensible footwear and clothes and take your time climbing this fantastic hill ,and you will be rewarded .Many hiking can be had to various points from the top of the hill .A fantastic part of The Shropshire Hills

Ludlow Castle, a restored Norman citadel located in the heart of Ludlow town, offers visitors a glimpse into history with its towers, hidden rooms, and scenic river views. Originally built to defend against the Welsh in the 11th century, it later served as a Royal Palace for over 350 years before falling into ruin.
Great castle to explore, with lots if steps up to various towers all with Great views of the beautiful town of Ludlow. Unfortunately the castle is not really suitable for anyone who is a wheelchair user or unsteady walking. There is a nice restaurant there serving very nice food. A lovely gift shop and nice clean toilet amenities. The Castle is also dog friendly. They also do civil ceremonies there, in a very nice Chapel.

We had an amazing day at Ludlow Castle! Originally built around 1075 by Walter de Lacy after the Norman Conquest, this castle has so much history. Over the years, it became one of the most important castles in the Marches, even hosting Prince Edward (one of the “Princes in the Tower”) and Prince Arthur with Catherine of Aragon. It was also the seat of the Council of the Marches before falling into ruin after 1689. One of the highlights for us was the Norman Chapel of St Mary Magdalene — it’s so unique with its round nave! After centuries of decay, it was lovingly restored and re-roofed in 2019 with help from English Heritage. It’s great to see such an iconic landmark preserved for future generations. We also climbed the tower and were rewarded with stunning views of Ludlow town, the lush surroundings, and Dinham Bridge. The castle grounds are peaceful, and there’s a nearby reservoir that adds to the charm. The on-site café is a perfect spot to grab a coffee or snack and relax. Ludlow itself is lovely — friendly, welcoming, and full of character. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking for a mix of history, nature, and a relaxing day out. Entry Prices: Child (5–15 years): £4 Adult (16+ years): £9 Family (2 adults, up to 4 children): £25 Children under 5: Free

I would recommend visiting the castle to everyone. We watched a battle reenactment which was very entertaining and there were tents teaching you about what life would have been like such as forging arrows, playing instruments, cooking, etc. There is so much of the castle that you can explore too which I enjoyed the most. I find often you can see a couple of room but here there seemed endless parts to explore, all with informative posts educating you about the castle. There are various staircases you can climb for incredible views across Ludlow and the surrounding area. There's also a gift shop with a very nice gallery of paintings for sale. You could spend a few hours here easily.

Incredible aura about this place, you really do feel the history as you walk around. I took my 3 year old and she absolutely loved it. Some great walks, great views. Take a picnic and eat in the grounds if the weather is nice. If you go to the top turrets, be mindful with the kids as the stairs are old, very steep and enclosed. Safe footing but take care. Small kiddies need to be carried which can be tricky, but we'll both rhe view from the top. There is a lovely river that runs nearby, lovely walks. Would highly recommend but another place that once you have been you probably wouldn't go back.

Great place to visit. You can take a few routes that take you back around to the beginning. Some trails are harder than others. I wouldn’t recommend for smaller children as some routes are steep.

It's a beautiful place to walk. It's mild to moderate incline. The water fall is not as big or exciting as we expected at the end of the long walk.

A really lovely place to visit on a sunny day, walk on different routes around the valley from 30 mins to 3 hours. Good walking shoes recommended. Rocky paths and gravel tracks, some climbing involved. Big car park available at £6, way in a bit tight. Lovely cafe with nice food and ice creams and toilets on way in. No bbq's allowed which is wise.

Lovely place to walk if you're up to some more strenuous walking. Also good for dogs, with the stream all the way up the valley path to drink or cool off in. The cafe is also dog-friendly. Parking is free for National Trust members with your card or about £8 if not. Lots of spots along the stream on a sunny day for picnics and playing, no barbecues though. The ice cream parlor makes for an afternoon treat, although we couldn't see any dog-friendly ice cream pots like we've had at other National Trust places

Brilliant views. Three trails of varying difficulties. Would recommend arriving early for a parking space, otherwise perhaps parking nearby and walking up.

Really lovely area, several walks from the valley, we did the long mynd circular it was around 7 miles, average time is 3hrs, but we stopped off to see all the views, the spout, reservoir, wild horses, and many view points, it's a really nice area. Parking was £8 for the day, or if you're a national Trust member it's free, there's plenty of spaces, but I'd suggest to arrive earlier as it can get busy especially on warm sunny days.

Stokesay Castle is a well-preserved medieval fortified manor located near the Shropshire/Wales border. Built in the 13th century by a wealthy wool merchant, it has endured various challenges throughout history and remains one of England's most beautiful examples of a medieval manor house. Visitors can explore highlights such as the Great Hall, North Tower with original medieval features, private apartment, and the timber-framed gatehouse with intricate engravings.
Stokesay castle is well worth visiting in my opinion. If you’re a member of English heritage you go free admission and also car park charge is waived for members. The yellow half timbered gate house is stunning in its appearance. We found that the informative audio guide was well worth using giving you information about the history of the castle. The church which was the private chapel of the owners is also well worth visiting. The great hall has amazing and fascinating wooden beam structure. Well worth taking some time to visit this picturesque fortified Manor House with its own gate house property and church

Magical place with many echoes from the past. Good audio tour included. Wonderful views and pictures taking opportunities that almost frame themselves. Today, the sun was shining, the flowers were beautiful and the bees were buzzing around their home at the gate. Don't forget to end your visit with a cream tea and a rest in the shade behind the tea house. A must see sight on your way to Wales.

Beautiful fortified manor house from the 13th century. Wood carving shows the extraordinary skills of the carpenters in Elizabethan times. Good puzzle trail for children and the cafe is next to the large car park. Picnic tables are available too.

Wonderful English Heritage castle that is extremely picturesque and mostly from the 13th century. There are signs inside or a free audio guide can be used. There are not many furnishings inside, but they did stage it well to see the previous uses (e.g. sitting room chairs, bed, beer barrels). We spent about 40 minutes seeing it slowly, but could see it more quickly. Note: It is fairly dark inside, with narrow uneven steps. There was also a sign about not disturbing the bats - so assume some creatures were overhead! Nice small cafe near the car park. Not a huge selection, but a few mains, pastries, hot drinks, and snacks like crisps or biscuits.

Bev B — Google review
Stokesay Castle is a truly fascinating place to visit and one of the most charming historic sites in England. Unlike many castles built for war, it was designed more as a fortified manor house, which makes it feel both impressive and welcoming at the same time. The Great Hall, with its timber roof and medieval atmosphere, is especially memorable, and the beautifully carved 17th-century gatehouse adds a unique character to the whole complex. What makes Stokesay remarkable is how well it has survived through the centuries, allowing visitors to step back in time and imagine everyday life in the Middle Ages. It is a peaceful, atmospheric site that combines history, architecture, and storytelling, and it leaves a lasting impression on anyone who walks through its gates. Well worth a visit...

A bit of a hybrid fortified house really. Located in a lovely area with views over the Shropshire countryside. Quite a nice audio tour that is generally easy to follow, except for a couple of missed rooms. What is great, is being able to go up to the top level of the tower and enjoy the view. There is a big car park and cafe across the way and lots of picnic areas.

Family friendly place, lovely food and beautiful grounds. Plenty for the kids to do and keep them entertained. Went twice during August - first time was quite quiet and second visit was a hive of activity as it was the Family fun day, BBQ and opening of the new wetland area Squelch. Lovely experience on both occasions, have recommended it to family and friends. Coincidental finding on our holiday travels.

We have had a brilliant day at the Discovery Centre. I went with my three year old and newborn, and their Nanas. We all had a brilliant time. We enjoyed the walk in the meadow and the play equipment. The cafe was big and had a tasty menu with good portions and great service. The mammoth museum was small but super informative and interactive, and the skeleton is amazing! The gift shop is full of gorgeous things with a great price range, my daughter bought glow stars and a rock of gold! The facilities are clean, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating (my daughter was scared of the mammoth noise so they turned it off for her). Pricewise, the museum was very reasonable but you can just do the meadow walk and use the facilities for free (carpark is £2.50), and the cafe was about £10 a plate. We'll definitely be back!

It was a lovely place to visit. There are several walks you can do from here. We did the meadow walk, which was beautiful. There are a lot of hard compact paths which are suitable for wheelchair users to explore the site. When we visited the mown grass paths through the meadow were hard and good for a wheelchair too, but this may not be the same after a period of rain. The information centre can advise further. The only disappointment was that the cafe is not dog friendly unless you have assistance dog. There is a serving hatch around the back of the centre, which links with the side of the cafe, that you can order food and drinks through if you are with your canine buddy. There are outside picnic type tables, but not much shade when I was there.

We've been passing this place for years, on our trips to North Wales. The sign says coaches welcome, so caravan in tow, we decided to chance it for space. Low and behold it has three large and long parking spaces, amongst many more normal car size spaces. Easy to park if your confident in reverseing in. Had a lovely cake and tea, then a relaxing walk around the paths. Large pond with lots of wild life. All paths accessable and easy to navigate. Liked it so much we called in again on our way home.. Cheesy chips and a sausage sandwich this time. The ladies serving were very helpful and kind.

The discovery centre has nice flat land walks around it. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed inside the building which i find silly as its a main stream place for dog walkers. The cafe is good pricing and has a very varied menu. Seating inside and out, plus now they have a serving hatch so you can have take away food or drinks from outside which helps people with dogs.

Went here twice today, first time to go to the cafe, but it was full, so went to the pub next door instead. The second time we went the cafe had emptied out so I had a scone with cream and it was very nice too. There are numerous walks you can do around the centre which we tried out for a bit of exercise, but it was raining so didn't go too far. Lots to see and do, ideal place for the school holidays.

The forest boasts well-maintained paths for walking and hiking, such as the 14km Climbing Jack trail. Visitors can enjoy stunning views from Vinnalls car park and experience the beauty of the surrounding nature.
Absolutely stunning and glorious views! The forest offers a bonafide tapestry of weaved magic peeking through the trees that are often bearded with mist. It’s an incredibly beautiful and delightfully ethereal landscape that wouldn’t be out of place in a Lord Of The Rings film set. We adored it here and the horizon on the outskirts. You’ll find a lot of wildlife and forest surprises here, including flowers and earthy nature on proud display. Perfect for animals and children as well and true and blue countryside pastoral paradise for those who enjoy England’s majesty x Highly recommended!

A great forest to explore for a day out. There are paths and different routes to take. We parked at Vinnalls car park, it's a spacious car park and while there were a handful of cars, we barely saw any people - it wasn't overcrowded. If you're taking a reactive dog out, the main paths are wide enough to make space. Really enjoyed visiting and will come back again.

Enjoyed a really nice woodland walk using the 2 mile red path, the place has amazing scenery and was very peaceful. This is a woodland walk I would highly recommend. I would have give 5 stars, but, the only disappointment was the amount of poo bags thrown or left behind by dog walkers, really pathetic that these owners bag them and then leave them scattered all over the forest. Some blame need to lie with the staff running the site, they have a huge office and multiple cars so plenty of staff about, but nobody has found the time to put bins in to prevent dog owners leaving bags of poo all over.

Mortimer Forest is a gem — those rolling hills, the mix of conifers and ancient broadleaf trees, and that quiet sense that you’ve stepped back in time. If you caught it on a sunny day, with the light breaking through the canopy and the air smelling faintly of pine and earth, I can see why you’d call it lovely. Even the wildlife there — deer, birds of prey, and the occasional squirrel on a mission — adds to the magic.

It was our first visit. We went to do the Vinnalls loop. We were aware there were a couple of areas closed so followed the diversions but a 3.2 mile walk was well over double as we had to go up the gravel path there and back. It would have been helpful to mention this on the website and/or on the information board in the car park.

It is a beautiful place overall, just don't be unlucky enough to walk down a path that is completely blocked with logs, with no alternative path through! Meaning your legs and arms get badly cut up, after fighting through brambles and accross slippy logs, to gain access to an adjacent path. With no signage anywhere to let you know said path is blocked.

Stiperstones National Nature Reserve is situated in the north of the Shropshire Hills, just 30 miles north of Ludlow. This reserve is not only a National Nature Reserve but also a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The area's distinctive geology features Bronze Age monuments and a diverse range of flora and fauna, including Red Grouse, Peregrine Falcon, and Ring Ouzel. The ridge boasts unique quartz tors at its southern end, offering breathtaking panoramic views.
Fantastic views from the highest points, the walk was relatively easy and good footwear is advised as it's mostly rocky underfoot. It wasn't too busy as we walked up from "The Bog" carpark, parking was free here and the extra walk was only 10 minutes. The main car park charges and is quite busy, take the longer walk, it's worth it.

The road leading up toward Stiperstone is a teaser of the amazing area and the destination towards the top. With stunning views wherever you look, you are spoilt for photos to be taken. The ascent is steep but not too long before arriving at the trig. The terrain is rocky but the second half of the loop is more ankle friendly. Plenty of fun for children with the scrambles on rocks but not something for toddlers. A beautiful location, but make sure to bring an extra layer of clothing. The wind can make it very chilly!

This is a great nature reserve for walking/hiking. The views are incredible and the quartzite rock formations are fascinating, and very photogenic. Very exposed so take water with you, and suitable clothing such as rainproof coats if in doubt (it can be windy up on the ridge even if it doesn't feel cold setting or from the car park). Boots are recommended for support rather than shoes. The area is free to visit, as is the car park. There is also a visitor centre in the old victorian school house which doubles as a cafe/gift-shop.

The two-mile hike to the top rewards visitors with breathtaking scenery.
Great walk! Easy ascent from the car park (in my opinion) Great views up top, some rocks to clamber over of you fancy. Path down other side trickier, a few loose rocks to be careful of :)

Absolutely amazing place with stunning view of 17 counties. If you lucky enough to climb the summit in a good weather you can see absolutely stunning view. And so many places to enjoy the view away from the crowd which can be at the top. Mid way down you can pop to the shop and have some nice drink and ice cream. It is a bit of a push to your calves on the way up and quads on the way down, especially mid way through the climb. But it’s very straight forward hike.

Great location for a quick getaway out from Birmingham City after work. Beautiful sunrise and sunset landscapes, clean and fresh air, great for photographers, cyclists and walking in general.

Free parking and free 24hr access, lots of walks, best walk was the blue footpath even though not much signs up for directions, could do with more sign posts or a map of all footpaths?. But if you want to go up the bury ditches the footpath is on the right of the carpark up a narrow footpath towards forest. Road on the way wasn't the best as well so take care driving to this destination if coming from Clun way. Was an easy walk up to Bury ditches just a little uphill walk, so enough for a sweaty walk. But as we got to the top it was beautiful and peaceful. Very quiet area, perfect for the dogs and to let them off freely. A nice wildlife spot, a good place to take photos and do some bird spotting. If coming towards Clun way take care in the road to the destination as it isn't the best, but it isn't the words just some bumpy areas and small potholes.

Hill fort mound still evident and there's a picture board to help visualise the iron age settlement. Lovely and peaceful but doesn't seem too remote. Could extend walk through adjacent woods.

This is a beautiful place to walk, as well as to take in some history. The views are amazing as you look over the valley's of the Shropshire Hills. There is a more accessible route for the less mobile walker or wheelchair user or you can take a walk up into the hills along a gravel track. Which should suit most walkers, I also managed to get up in my electric wheelchair, however it is quite steep possibly even a little dangerous going alone. I would really recommend this place, take a camera, a book, a flask of tea and your journal and relax for a few hours.

Also a nice and well spaced area for picnics Also plenty of areas where benches are available for people to sit and relax There is also a nice playground area next to a cafe and ice cream vendor. Toilets are also accessible and free to use. Also a really nice and relaxing walk along the river too...

I recently spent some time at The Quarry in Shrewsbury, and it’s one of those places that blends natural beauty with a relaxed, local atmosphere. As a vegetarian who enjoys peaceful green spaces and a bit of people-watching, it really hit the mark. The park is spacious—around 29 acres—but it’s laid out in a way that feels open and easy to explore rather than sprawling. The River Severn curves around it, adding a lovely waterside touch. I did a slow loop along the riverside path, and it was perfect for a gentle walk. The area had a nice community vibe with people out walking dogs, running, or just lounging on the grass. It never felt too busy, even on a nice day. I brought along a veggie wrap from a local café and found a great picnic spot by the river. There weren’t many food options directly in the park when I visited, but being close to town means you can easily grab something before heading in. The open spaces are ideal for just stretching out, relaxing, or even reading for a bit. The Quarry is also really accessible—flat, well-maintained paths make it easy for all mobility levels. It’s a great option whether you want a quiet afternoon, a scenic jog, or just a peaceful walk to unwind. I’d happily return any time I’m in Shrewsbury.

If the weather is good this is a fantastic place to come and relax after a rough day exploring this lovely town. There is plenty of room for the kids to burnnof some energy and the is also a good sized play park and a splash area.

Stepping into The Quarry feels like entering a dream woven from petals, fragrance, and sunlight. Nestled away like a secret whispered by nature, this garden is an exquisite tapestry of colors and textures, where time seems to slow and the soul feels lighter. What truly sets The Quarry apart is its breathtaking collection of flowers—most notably, the tulips. Rows upon rows of them bloom in vibrant harmony, their silky petals dancing in the breeze like brushstrokes on a living canvas. Every corner of the garden bursts with life: soft pastels, bold crimsons, and delicate whites—each tulip telling its own story. Their gentle sway under the sun is nothing short of magical. Pathways wind through curated beds and untamed patches alike, offering intimate moments with nature’s artistry. It’s easy to lose yourself here, among birdsong and the perfume of blossoms. The Quarry is more than a garden—it’s a sanctuary of beauty, a celebration of growth, and a reminder that enchantment still exists in the world. If you’re looking for a place to be inspired, calmed, or simply awed, The Quarry is a must-visit. You don’t just walk through it—you feel it in your heart.

We visited Quarry Garden by chance on our way back from Snowdonia, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise! The park has something for everyone—open spaces, a play area, peaceful gardens, and the beautiful Dingle, a former quarry transformed into a stunning sunken garden. The suspension bridge over the River Severn is a highlight, with lovely views (and a fun little sway when you cross!). There’s also The Boathouse pub nearby with outdoor seating overlooking the river. Full of history, nature, and a warm community feel—definitely worth a visit if you’re in Shrewsbury.

Nestled in the charming village of Little Stretton, The Green Dragon is a delightful pub that perfectly complements your adventures in Shropshire. Located at the base of Long Mynd, this inviting establishment boasts a cozy beamed interior complete with a wood-burner, making it an ideal spot to unwind after exploring the stunning countryside. With a diverse menu featuring reasonably priced food and drinks, guests can indulge in generous portions—like their delicious tomato and chili soup served with fresh bread.
Had to travel just over two hours to go a bike dealer that I bought my E-bike from. On the way back home we wanted a lunch before we hit the road and I came across this beautiful put set just off the main road! Was really pleased with the customer service, menu, location of the pub , value for money and my lord you get a generous portion! The soup was had for starters and it was absolutely amazing. Tomato and chilli spicy but really nice helping of bread to go with it! Burger was on the menu so we had the spicy burger ( can’t remember what it was called ) hmmm mmm delicious!! Great value too, two course meal with two coffees was around £55. The fire was lite and made it even more cosy! Great staff always smiled 10/10. They prefer cash as you are supporting the local business but card is absolute fine! Please please visit this pub cause you won’t be disappointed! Defo book in advance we went at lunch time and managed to get a table and car parking space.

It's the best vegan menu I've seen around this area. About 6 choices!. Which is amazing. Usually I go places and I'm told it's this. This is what you're having. I had mushroom risotto with garlic bread and chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. It was all very delicious. The garlic bread was too crispy, and I couldn't really taste garlic. That's my only gripe. Was still nice, though. The loos were nice and clean. The place itself is clean and looks nice. We were treated to watching the swifts flying around outside. The staff were a lovely helpful bunch. We will definitely be back and also recommend this place.

Popped into this little gem after walking up and around Carding Mill Valley all day. Very weird how most pubs in this area don’t serve food until late in the evening, but the Green Dragon was serving all day which was perfect. Lovely pub, fantastic service with really nice food. Good selection of drinks at a reasonable price. After food we had a pint out in the beer garden taking in the fabulous views. Would I come here again, absolutely. Well recommended 👍🏻

Absolutely fantastic place, very easy to park. The staff were very informative and cheery which was nice. Good information on prices visible. Toilets at the entrance. Lots of dog drinking stations which was a lovely touch. Great place to adventure for all ages , wouldnt recommend for wheelchairs, buggies or those with limited mobility however I believe there's tours via 4x4 on the Web page? Lots to see and do there. We spent about 2 hours but could have spent all day adventuring! There's human and dog icecream in the freezer to purchase at the end aswell as cold drinks.

Excellent place to visit, great views, and spectacular scenery. We visited on a Saturday, the car park was busy, but plenty big enough to find a space (parking is free). From the car park it is a short walk to the main entrance to the walk. There are restrooms and a cafe (more on which later) and a small gift shop area. The walk is a circular route, with a great deal of steps both up and down, and tree roots and low branches to be wary of. It is a one way walk, which makes life easier for everyone (so quite how the family of three went the wrong way is a bit of a mystery)🤡 Sturdy footwear is definitely recommended, and a torch (for the caves and tunnels), although torches are available at the entrance if required, but I don't know the cost. Whilst it is only a 3.5-4.0 mile walk around (shorter if you take a few of the different (easier) paths, it is quite strenuous, so be prepared, especially if taking younger children etc. There are numerous stopping points on the way to enjoy the views around the area, and a number of towers and follies to access. There are toilets half way around the walk, and a number of well located benches for stopping and a picnic. One thing I would say is this is definitely NOT a walk on a wet day or after heavy rain, as some of the downhill gravel stretches can I imagine be a bit treacherous and muddy too. We were quite lucky in that it was quite a cool day, as in the summer it would get pretty hot walking around. It is highly recommended to take water or other liquids with you, as I can vouch that the walk does make you thirsty!!🥵 Some of the white arrow signage is a little confusing but there is a free map supplied when you buy your ticket, and this should definitely be taken as it does help. Unfortunately one of the return routes was closed off part way round, but nonetheless it was a very enjoyable walk. On arrival back at the entrance as mentioned there are toilets and a cafe. We were looking forward to a cuppa and perhaps a slice of cake, but the cafe was quite disappointing as it is completely self service, and does not seem to offer much in the way of snacks etc. In fact we just went home and had a cuppa when we got back. That said, it is a very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours, and if the weather is kind then the views are very good.

It took us just nearly 4hrs to walk all around, including some sit down breaks and time to enjoy the views. We were blessed with a wonderful weather to enjoy the beautiful views. We had great time. Make sure you have wear comply footwear or even hiking boots as some of it was quite hard going and our feet and legs were hurting by the end. I would recommend and will most likely return it the future.

Hawkstone Follies is a special spot in Shropshire. The park goes back to the 1700s, when the Hill family turned the rocky hills and woods into a landscape full of caves, towers, tunnels and hidden paths. Still every turn brings something new to discover.The walks are great fun, with amazing views from the Monument and plenty of places to explore along the way. Some paths are steep and a bit uneven, so good shoes are a must. You can easily spend whole day here just wandering and enjoying the peace and scenery. There is plenty benches to relax after climbing, picnic areas as well as many natural seats on stones. For a small fee of £10.50 you can enjoy beautiful and adventurous day.

Great day out for our 8 year old. Only £10.50 per person which is a cheap day out these days. An outdoors adventure trail through woods and caves , with plenty of ups and downs and rounds. Free parking . Cafe , toilets and gift shop at the beginning of the trail. Toilets at the far end of the trail too. Plenty of places to enjoy a picnic with some very nice views. It can be quite physically demanding at some points and is not a place for prams or anyone mobility issues. Appropriate footwear and clothes would make your day easier here. Maybe bring a torch for the caves. A fantastic place for kids and adults alike.

Lovely place but charging the same price for kids over the age of 4 is a bit much. Possibly why it was quiet for the summer hols on a beautiful day. The place is great for a good adventure but you definitely need to be fairly fit and able bodied as it's NOT for the feint hearted!! It's very physical with a lot of up and down steep slopes and steps.

Telford Town Park is not your typical city park. Voted the UK's Best Park in 2015, it offers a wide range of facilities and attractions for visitors of all ages. From an aerial ropes course to five children's play areas, an adventure mini-golf course, cycle center, water play areas in summer, fishing ponds, and a visitor center with a cafe - there's something for everyone.
Amazing park, seriously has something for everyone—great playgrounds with slides, swings, rocket slide, spider’s web, sandpit and water splash zone, plus teen, inclusive and sports areas. Clean toilets at the Visitor Centre, lovely picnic lawns and gardens, and it’s dog-friendly (just keep them out of play zones). Whether you're looking to relax, explore trails, or get adventurous, it does it all—even a zoo!

Nice park to visit 👍👍

Best park around - love it love it love it. It's what makes Telford great! Slides, water area, wooden obstacle area, Arena. The LA have invested loads into it. Night time is not 🚫 great. If you let your kids out unsupervised here at night it's more of a you problem than the park. So just be mindful.

The pub's marquee is beautifully decorated with plenty of comfortable seating options including sofas and deck chairs next to the fire pit.

We recently came up to loppington for a get away for my 22nd birthday, we are from cornwall and our Airbnb hosts recommended we try the dickin arms... we tried it once and couldn't stay away, the food the staff and just the pub as a whole is such a lovely place. The food is absolutely outstanding, everyone who was with us was blown away by the food and we spent our last night in the pub with some good food and of course a pint or two. The owner was extremely lovely and welcoming from the moment we walked into the pub to just checking in during our couple times at the pub, and when we said that it had been an incredible time at the pub they were so appreciative and wished us well for our journey back home... DO NOT MISS THIS PUB!! 🫶🏼 Side note: massive bonus points for the bright pink ladies bathroom!! We loved it 🤭

Approaching the @thedickinarms set in the north Shropshire village of Loppington it looked to be everything we had hoped. Sunday lunch club was on! ⭐️4/5 Recommended👍🏻 Price 💸💸 With the open kitchen and cosy dining spaces we couldn’t wait to tuck in so dived straight to mains. For £16.50 you can choose from roast beef, pork loin or a mix. There are also a great selection of starters and other options for those not craving roasties and lashings of gravy. Two generous portions of well seasoned rare roast beef adorned the first plate served with home-cooked Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and a jug of beef gravy. What Sunday lunch is all about. The mixed roast sadly wasn’t so promising. A thin half slice of beef and two small slices of pork loin left this plate looking rather short changed. The pork promised crackling but we would describe this to be more like pork crunch cooked separately to the loin, airy and with no layer of fat. Additionally the stuffing tasted more akin to slices of sausage meat unfortunately lacking in herbs and flavour. We politely asked if it was possible to have a full slice or beef however this didn’t go down well with the chef which meant the feel good factor was slightly marred. Have to say it made us feel a little uncomfortable overhearing the chef snap that this is the correct portion size and they will have to pay extra for it, which we would have happily done if asked. The accompanying roasties were generous but didn’t set the world on fire lacking seasoning and crunch. Veg was a tasty mix of broccoli, roast baby carrots and runner beans. We would highly recommend a side of the cheesy leeks these were rich and creamy, a great addition. Overall despite this chefs comments we have to say the manager Rachel couldn’t have handled it better even taking off a round of drinks when we came to pay the bill. This wasn’t asked for, however a nice gesture so thank you. If you are in the area and you are looking for a quaint village pub pay the Dickin Arms a visit. If for Sunday lunch we would definitely suggest the roast beef. It is served rare which we love but maybe not for everyone. #theshropshirefoodies

Haughmond hill is a wonderful place to come for a walk, stroll or day, whatever you like. The parking is plentiful and only £1 for 2 hours or £2 all day. Bring a picnic and enjoy a good walk to the viewpoint. Take a drink. Whilst we had floppy shoes, the ground is quite rough in places so trainers are best. If you want the easiest walk take the path to the right of the cafe as you look at it from the seating and that’s nice and smooth all the way. Lovely place - Enjoy your day.

We were so pleased to return to the Bucks Head after many years of absence. Sunday lunch was very good. Roast pork belly was perfect as was the rich gravy that accompanied it. My dining guest's roast beef was a little underdone for her taste but I happily finished off the rarer parts and these were perfectly done for me. So pleased we have another venue serving good, hearty food in the town again. We will return in the near future.

The town center of Shrewsbury is a charming mix of streets and alleys filled with shops and eateries. The architecture in Shrewsbury is stunning, with beautiful buildings throughout the town. Notably, Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Abbey were founded in the 11th century by Roger de Montgomery.
A castle I have wanted to do for a long time. This castle is special as it houses a fantastic collection from the Shropshire Regiment. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. Head up to Laura's Tower. It is not open, but the views from up there are fantastic. We paid £8 entrance, but well worth it. A small gift shop, but cash only. Toilets are available.

Shrewsbury Castle, perched on a hill in the heart of the town, is a good historical site with stunning views of the surrounding area. Originally built by the Normans in 1074, it has played a key role in English history, including during the medieval conflicts and the English Civil War. The castle grounds are free to explore, offering peaceful walks through well-maintained gardens. Inside, the Soldiers of Shropshire Museum showcases military artifacts and memorabilia, highlighting the history of the local regiments.I am not a fan of this type of museums so it did not hook me at all. Climbing Laura’s Tower rewards visitors with panoramic views of Shrewsbury and its medieval streets. The location is very convenient, just a short walk from the town center, Shrewsbury Station, and Park and Ride stops. While the outdoor areas are lovely, some exhibits focus mainly on military history rather than the castle’s architectural evolution, and admission of £8 is required for the interior. Overall, it’s a charming and historically rich site, perfect for leisurely exploration, photography, and learning about Shropshire’s past.

Utterly magnificent! I'd recommend the museum to everyone. It doesn't glorify war but recognises the ultimate sacrifice that so many local men made. All of the campaigns in the last 300 years are remembered, it doesn't feel like a stuffy history type of museum as is right upto date today. The staff were friendly and informative, I came away with a far greater sense of knowledge about the world we live in now and how conflicts begin and end.

Nice and small castle, where you can see the history of military. It’s not too big but if you feel interesting about militarism then it’s worth visit. You can buy tickets in the counter no need to book it on advance its £15 per person for Adult. On the right side you will find Laura’s tower where you can Shrewsbury town from top.

We didn’t go into the main museum as it was rather pricey and with small children who would not have appreciated all the weaponry etc (give it a few years!) Beautifully kept (and free) gardens - a lovely place to hang with the family lazing on benches and on the grass for a bit of a rest after a busy morning.

Heritage centre was shut as got there too late, they do have activities on. Small car park with notice board of activities and some lovely walks to the kiln or up to the quarries (this has some steep bits) very interesting area, lots of info boards and you can get on to the offa dyke path also up by the quarries... need to go back as ran out of time! But luckily the canal trips were on which is next to the carpark, very nice volunteers and you can get refreshments and some lovely gifts 😊

This is truly a hidden gem. There is only limited parking, but this is free. Once out of the car park, the trails and paths are well maintained and signposted with plenty of information boards around the area. The old buildings and limeworks are very well preserved. Zone 1 of the heritage area offers shorter, accessible walks. Whilst zones 2 and 3 offer more strenuous and longer walks which then link up with other walking trails too. Follow the footpaths up the hill to find a stunning viewpoint and explore the old quarry at the top of the hill.

Great trip here to discover the Limestone quarrying history of the area. Free parking available and was also great for walking the dog with bits of history scattered around the reserve. We spent around 2-3 hours here exploring and walking up the the cliffs and quarry site which is well worth the walk up the incline.

Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle is a remarkable Bronze Age monument located in the Shropshire Hills. It was constructed over 3000 years ago using dolerite stones from nearby Stapeley Hill. Originally consisting of around 30 stones, today 15 of them are still visible, including an impressive entrance stone. The circle spans 85 feet in diameter and may have had a central stone at one point.
A fantastic, magical and atmospheric place. Plenty of parking, then just a short walk to the stone circle. Great views all around and Plenty of walks and history. Wrap up warm and go and enjoy yourself.

Remote, windswept, ancient, magical. Don't try to drive down the path unless you've a 4x4, park just at the end of the mettaled road and walk the 1/4 mile to the circle. Lots of sheep poo. No facilities at all, including bins - so take your rubbish home with you. But don't let that stop you. One of the most magical places you'll ever visit. Of course it's in Wales.

Absolutely beautiful views and there's nothing quite like being in a spot that's been special since the Bronze Age. The drive up there was a bit hair raising if you aren't used to single track lanes but it is definitely worth it!

Amazing place. The views are amazing, and the walk is lovely. Gets a bit wet and muddy after a good rain, so bring wellies. Awesome place to release beasties (kids, not dogs, the sheep are everywhere, so keep the fluffies on the lead ) parking can be a pain though. Tiny parking lot at the bottom of the lane and one at the top. We went on boxing day, and it was jam-packed

The Grade-listed manor is an ideal venue for special events like weddings and celebrations. Visitors can explore the house's woodwork and fireplaces while enjoying the picturesque walking routes starting from nearby car parks. The manor, also used as a YHA hostel, seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary comforts.
Listen, even in the depths of a winter storm that's taken out the power completely and scuppered our Xmas meal plans, this place is fantastic. I can't think of a better haunted mansion to be stranded in. 10/10 experience, would come again
Matthew E — Google review
This had so much potential for a great visit, with the Cadbury connection and ghosts, but despite a tour round it felt like we were being shown round a building with the plan for us to rent out the hostel (the whole hostel for £900 a night) rather than a tour for history buffs. Set within grounds you could take a walk in, if the weather had been better this may have saved the day. However, on a grey drizzle soaked day, this visit fell flat and we left thinking this had not been really worth the effort. A shame as there is potential to make more of the tours, experience and history.

A lovely hiking weekend at the Wilderhope Manor. It's an amazing property, still has the wooden staircase in use. A property from a time bygone, something one should experience. We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. It is creaky but spacious with high ceilings.

Pleasant house to look around. We were fortunate that most rooms we could go in as they were changing over guests. I would say that the Cadbury suite is really really really lovely for a YHA not what I would expect at all ~ 4 post bed and footed bath! If I was to stay I'd be booking it up. 🛏🛁 As a National Trust property there is not a vast amount to see re the property itself (there is alot of walks you can do from there). There is some nice woodwork and fireplaces. Fun to walk around and nice with the children ~ don't need to worry about antiques here. You can get a stamp for your passport book here at the shop (also selling sweets and pop). There is no guidebook for the house. Would recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Exploring its well-maintained paths is delightful, as it presents the opportunity to discover various types of fruits such as Blackberries, Blueberries, and Apples along the way.
Perfect place for a gentle afternoon walk or stroll. We had some fun finding all sorts of fruits along the path including Blackberries, Blueberries and Apples. If you are coming for the views, no, it’s not exactly the place but if you want to have a bit of space and go for a peaceful walk along some well maintained paths, pop over and enjoy.

If you want a place that looks and feels like a scene out of a 70s Dr Who episode then look no further a trip to Titterstone Clee Hill is just that. The long winding road through and up to the top is peppered with reminders of days gone by at the Quarry. Once parked up you have the old building to explore which are quite dark and imposing. The views are absolutely magnificent and a climb to the trig point essential. Walking past the NATS radar and MET office weather stations are a real sight. Locally and further afield known as the Golf Balls. This is high and only beaten in Shropshire by Brown Clee in height. Go enjoy and have a great time.
