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.

Bishop’s Castle is a small, market town at the centre of magnificent, unspoilt hill country. The prominent 18th century Town Hall, which has undergone a major renovation, stands at the top of the main street, and is the centre for much activity in the town. There are two museums and a Heritage Resource Centre, two breweries, including the oldest licensed brewery in the country . 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.
