Brow Farm Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

Great campsite with nice scenery and decent facilities (including showers and free wifi). The site is very large so there's no need to book in advance. It's quite exposed so …

Asterton Bank Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Popular Shropshire Hills climb. Tough gradients and an old surface (still paved, but a bit uneven) but the views are worth the effort. Careful of the descents as with all downhills in the region.

Winding Forest Road in Shropshire Hills

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful ride through the forest. The surface is paved but it can have a bit of leaf coverage, so take it easy especially if it's been raining.
