Hanley Mill Glamping

Hanley Williams, the nearest village, is surrounded by gorgeous Worcestershire countryside and crisscrossed by walks and bridleways, with the popular Worcestershire Way and Three Rivers Ride trails close by. For more walks, it's easy to get to Church Stretton and the Shropshire Hills (45 minutes' drive), an area of outstanding natural beauty known as 'Little Switzerland', or to explore country trails in the Malvern Hills (roughly 20 minutes to the south). Tenbury Wells (15 minutes) should be on the agenda too, as this elegant town – which was apparently very popular with Queen Victoria – has an impressive 18th-century bridge, the spectacular Pump Rooms and other graceful buildings to admire. The town, which still hosts a regular market, is also home to many independent shops, cafés and tea rooms and hosts a number of festivals throughout the year. A little bit further afield, you could make a day of it in Worcester (35 minutes), explore the medieval streets and castle at Ludlow (30 minutes) or head to Hay-on-Wye (an hour), a book town on the very edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park with an annual literary festival in late spring.
