South Shropshire is arguably the most scenic and rural area of the County. It is ideal for country lovers, walkers, bird watchers and people who are interested in history. There is something for everyone, provided it is a quiet, rural spot that you are seeking ...

FERNDALE is on the B4368, about a mile west of Shipton, at SO547905. Ordnance Survey maps label this location as Hopescross. We overlook the River Corve, towards the Brown Clee Hill, the highest spot in Shropshire. This is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - very rural and unspoiled. Walkers can leave the car and follow the Shropshire Way and other local paths from the front door. Lovers of small towns will enjoy visiting Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Much Wenlock and Church Stretton. A stroll in our own developing woodland leads to a viewpoint from which the Tudor manor house, Wilderhope, and views towards Wenlock Edge can be seen.

Other advantages about this location include the lack of street lighting so the stars can be seen at night and the relative lack of noise and bustle so the birdsong can be heard in the daytime, song thrushes at twilight and owls in the later evening.

FERNDALE is easily accessible by car. Public transport is negligible so a car or cycles are essential, if only to make visits to hostelries for evening meals. Trains to Shrewsbury, Wales, Birmingham and other more distant places can be caught from Craven Arms and Telford. Each of these stations has a car park. Cycle hire (including electric bikes) is available in the area.

If you prefer to travel to Shropshire by train, you could hire a car for local journeys. In this case, you could arrange car hire with Enterprise, Telford, who will meet your train at Telford Station. Telford is a few stops from Wolverhampton or Birmingham New Street. Both stations have connections to the north and the south. Phone 01952 200353 to make the arrangements.
