The Local Area

The scattered village of Westhope stands amidst rolling farmland in the scenic Hope Valley, at the southern foot of the famous Wenlock Edge.

Our nearest town is Craven Arms where you can visit the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, the fascinating Land of Lost Content museum and the beautiful Stokeasay Castle.

There are lovely walks with rambling and cycle trails along the local paths and bridleways, whilst many of Shropshire’s main attractions are within easy driving distance. Enjoy Church Stretton, known as Little Switzerland, with its antique shops and tea rooms, surrounded by the beautiful Long Mynd Hills and the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm.

The World Heritage Site at Ironbridge, Attingham Park, the market towns of Much Wenlock, Shrewsbury and Ludlow with their medieval castles, excellent shops and restaurants are all within easy reach of this lovely part of Shropshire, as are the lovely village of Clun, the market towns of Bishops Castle and Carding Mill Valley.
