 We are located at the blue marker to the east of Llynclys crossroads |
| The beautiful Shropshire and Mid Wales countryside offers
visitors a huge choice of things to see and do. Close by we have Llynclys Common SSI, the Cambrian Railway Trust base and Offa's Dyke. Llanymynech Nature Reserve is only a couple of miles away Within a short drive we have the Ceiriog Valley, the Tanat Valley, the Berwyn Mountains, Lakes Bala/Vyrnwy and the Vales of Llangedwyn and Llangollen. All are areas of outstanding natural beauty and we're not so far from Snowdonia National Park and the beautiful quiet sea coast of Mid Wales. Local shopping in Oswestry and Welshpool is adequate for everyday needs, but a wider choice is also available in Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Chester. |
