Bishop's Castle is rapidly becoming a major centre for walking. The surrounding Shropshire Hills offer inspiring landscape with moderate to challenging walks to suit all abilities. If you're looking for unspoilt countryside with stunning views and plenty of historic interest, the area has much to offer, and Bishop's Castle makes an ideal base to explore from.

We are close to the national Offa's Dyke path, close to Shropshire Hill Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and well suited for forays further afield into mid-Wales.

There are a number of regular walking events in the area throughout the year, and you can find details of all these on these pages. If you want to do your own thing, there are plenty of local walking guides stocked in local shops, or you can hire a local guide to take your group on a personalised walk.
