Lane Farm is ideally situated to explore the Marches, Shropshire Hills, Mid-Wales, Shrewsbury, Chester, Oswestry and Welshpool.

We are 54 miles from Barmouth (a traditional sea side town) and 70 miles to Snowdon. With wonderful scenic roads to the lakes, wild open spaces and breathtaking mountains.

The local area offers some wonderful trips, Shrewsbury being a medieval town with castle, gardens, excellent shopping and river walks. Ironbridge the home of the industrial revolution.

Railway enthusiasts are well catered for at Bala, Welshpool, Llanfair, Llangollen and perhaps the more well known Severn Valley Railway. The Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford is also within easy reach. Just over the border into Wales visit Pistyll Rhaedar situated in the Berwyn Mountains which boasts a stupendous waterfall, higher than Niagara or visit Llangollen a historic town, with its famous canal and aqueduct.

For nature lovers a visit to The Long Mynd and The Stiperstones Nature Reserve are truly breathtaking. For those feeling energetic a walk to the top of The Breiddens to Rodney’s Pillar will afford spectacular views of the Severn valley (on a clear day!) We are within easy reach of The Severn Way and Offa's dyke.

Local attractions include the monthly Hill Climb at Loton Park, the famous Shrewsbury Flower Show in August, The West Mids Agricultural Show in June and Salop Steam Rally at the end of August.
