Tranquil Country Retreat
We stopped here for a week in August and we really enjoyed our stay.
From the A483 we stayed on the B4368, declining the satnav offer of a single track, steep, winding shortcut that would have been a problem with the 'van. Stay on the 2-lane B road!
Although there wasn't a TV or phone signal the CL's specialist WiFi service made up for this and we were able to stream radio and TV and use web calling on the phones.
The Crown at Newcastle-on-Clun was 1.5miles along the B4368 and served great beers and ciders and good food too. For a further stretch of the legs take the 5 mile circular route over the hills to Newcastle and back along the B road.
This is great walking country and our most amenable host Delphine had a binder and selection of maps available to help with route planning.
A little further along the B road we found Clun with more places to eat and a well stocked Spar, where we found some Shropshire Blue cheese - one of our mission objectives!
With no major roads nearby, this really is peace and quiet in a great rural setting - a well run CL with very helpful owners on hand for any info needed.
Definitely worth a visit!
