After a wee break of 3 weeks while the weather has been doing a practice run for autumn, we’ve come to Bishops Castle in Shropshire. We stayed at this lovely CL, approximately a mile from the town. All grass (mown) pitches, spaciously separated by long meadow grass which makes for such a nice relaxing environment, with the owners goats and horses in the paddocks next to the CL. The very welcoming owner Bruce came out to greet us, and supplied us with a superb pack of information about the local walks, pubs etc and more. Such a peaceful and well managed CL, it’s a credit to the owners Bruce and Anne. As it was a hot day, we chose to do a short walk with our dog Oscar to and from Bishops Castle, but there are so many walks in this area you are spoilt for choice. You can also download both walking and cycling routes from the website www.bishopscastle.co.uk. We walked into the town via the Shropshire way trail, circa 1.5 miles there, and we ended up doing a 4.5 miles round trip. The landscape is very picturesque and peaceful, being mostly a farming area, with both animals and arable. Bishops castle is such a quaint and old small town, with brightly coloured building and small individual shops - several places to eat, with the castle hotel (dog friendly inside and out) at the top of the hill being in such a prominent and picturesque position, built on the site of the original castle. Even the church is an interesting place to visit, having its own history trail leaflet to follow. Definitely a place and CL worth visiting if in the area, you won’t be disappointed
