Rivers & Castles of Shropshire
This area of Shropshire offers some of the best cycling in Europe. River valleys cutting through spectacular hills, dominated by ruined castles. This really is unspoilt countryside; cars take second place to tractors, sheep & cyclists.
The poet AE Housman aptly describes Clun as "The quietest place under the sun". Our first cycle tour lives up to its name ...and is a perfect introduction to the joys of cycling. |
