Between charming Church Stretton and lovely Ludlow is the tiny market town of Craven Arms, also referred to as The Gateway to the Marches. With its location on the picturesque Wenlock Edge and Corvedale Valley and its fine hikes from the town to the magnificent Stokesay Castle, one of England's best fortified manor homes, or the hugely popular Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, Craven Arms is a great starting point. The town also contains several lovely and ancient homes, such as the fascinating "Museum of Lost Content" and a round house that is said to have served as a rest stop for pilgrims going between Wigmore and Shrewsbury Abbeys. Nearby Church Stretton, known for its beautiful hikes and top-notch golf course, is nestled between the Long Mynd and Caradoc Hills. A short drive away are the charming mediaeval towns of Bishop's Castle, Ludlow, and Shrewsbury, which feature stunning castles, riverside walks, fantastic shops, pubs, restaurants, thrilling theatre, and a number of festivals. Any time of year, this is the ideal starting point for exploring the entire lovely county of Shropshire.
