Pros: extensive view, walks. Cons: tight access, sloping pitches
This is an amazing CL high up above Oswestry with extensive views towards Shrewsbury 20 miles away. It’s an impressive view day or night. Despite the elevated position, the wind isn’t a problem. The CL is on the edge of the old racecourse, an area of common land that was used for horse racing 200 years ago. You don’t expect to find a racecourse on the top of a hill. Offa’s Dyke long distance path goes through the racecourse (only 75 yards from the CL entrance). I recommend walking along it 2.5 miles to the Barley Mow Inn in Trefonen for a pint of The Grim Reaper (aka the Trefonen Guinness) brewed in the micro brewery attached.
