A settlement of Saxon heritage, Bishop's Castle is a little market town which draws hikers from all over the country. It has excellent access to numerous walking trails and enough amenities to serve your needs but never feels like its sold out to large chains.

Walking around the town, you'll spy stunning old buildings as well as colourful painted houses. There was a castle here for hundreds of years but now a hotel and brewery lie on the original site.

Many pubs, restaurants and cafes and shops catering for almost every need line the main street. There is frequent evening entertainment and the town is a centre for live music and crafts and art.

Cykling

Bishops Castle is a beautiully quaint ancient hamlet come market town totally surrounded by the lush South Shropshire Hills. Being close to the Welsh border and not far from either Shrewsbury or Ludlow, it makes for a perfect base to explore this stunning little part of the UK. Don't forget to try some of the local ale from the Three Tuns Brewery.
