Eastridge Glamping

New to the Shropshire Hills? Leave the car at home and make the most of the scenery with the Shropshire Hills' high-season shuttle buses (five minutes' walk to the nearest stop; July to early September), allowing you to get out to beauty spots like the Stiperstones, Church Stretton and Carding Mill Valley in the Long Mynd (all can also be driven to within roughly half an hour). Shrewsbury (25 minutes) is also worth visiting for its museums like Coleham Pumping Station and the Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery – if you find yourself interested by the town's ancient past while perusing the latter, you might like to follow up with a visit to the well-presented ruins at Wroxeter Roman City (30 minutes) just down the road. Other high-rated historic days out are to be had at Ironbridge (45 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site with industrial structures galore, while for something a bit older there's also Ludlow Castle (50 minutes) or the well-preserved buildings around Hay-on-Wye (55 minutes), a market town on the border between England and Wales.
