If your calves are still up for a challenge, join the Severn Way at Bridgnorth (15 minutes’ drive), roughly halfway along its route from mid-Wales down to Bristol, or tramp the heaths and moors to the top of the Long Mynd plateau for views stretching similarly far (half an hour's drive to the car park). For more energetic kinds of outdoor adventure, The Edge Adventure Activities Centre (15 minutes) serves up a pulse-racing mix of quad biking, zipwires, Segway rides and archery, while River Severn sailors can hire canoes and kayaks 20 minutes away at Bridgnorth and Ironbridge. Bridgnorth is worth the trip whatever your passion, for a day around a handsome old river settlement with a castle, a funicular railway linking the top and bottom halves of town, and the last (or first) stop on the Severn Valley Railway: get yourself a berth on this heritage steam line for a 16-mile trip to Kidderminster through Shropshire’s finest countryside. To delve further into history, head to Ironbridge (15 minutes' drive) for a multitude of museums devoted to the area’s industrial past. For those feeling peckish after all that (and who wouldn’t?), the foodie mecca of Ludlow is half an hour from the site. Top tip: pick up a gourmet picnic around the town then scoff it on the castle walls.
