Location:

Surrounded by the Shropshire hills, country lanes and peaceful countryside anytime of the year is beautiful.
The perfect location for the Border country - on the edge of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Wales, near Offas Dyke, National Trust properties and the Ironbridge Gorge museums.
Orchard Cottage is conveniently situated between Ludlow and Bishop's Castle 10 miles from each and 7 miles from Clun and Knighton with Stokesay castle just 5 miles away, and Hopton Castle a 1.5 mile walk along country lanes.
Ludlow with its unique culture, food, and festivals is a few minutes drive.
Activities in the area include walking, golf, cycling, mountain bikes, horse riding, the Secret Hills centre, Acton Scott Victorian Working Farm, birdwatching and lots more.
Mortimer country and the black and white villages of Herefordshire are within easy reach.
Hopton Heath station, a "request stop" on the scenic Heart of Wales line, is handy for exploring but with just 4 trains a day each way you won't hear it.
Nearest pub, shop, butcher, chip shop, and garage are in Leintwardine, 3 miles away.
Shopping, farmers markets, specialist suppliers can be found in Ludlow (10 miles), Shrewsbury, Craven Arms, Bishops Castle and Knighton.
