Further Information and Other Local Ideas

The popular Sandstone Trail runs just to the east of the castle. You could follow this south to Whitchurch and enjoy a stroll along the Shropshire Union Canal.
Bunbury locks and the associated village of Bunbury are located just to the north. The impressive staircase locks on the Shropshire Union Canal and the delightful historic settlement are well worth a visit.
