  • "Absolutely incredibly fantastic house, facilities, and location."

    Very adaptable, easy to contract, and thoughtful owners. Sykes are also very easy to work with. Genuinely the best holiday home i've ever stayed in. Can't give enough praises - would recommend to everyone and will hopefully one day stay again!

CARDINGTON

Church Stretton 5.1 miles; Much Wenlock 9.4 miles; Ironbridge 14.8 miles.

The pretty village of Cardington lies amongst the rolling hills of the South Shropshire countryside. Cardington boasts the oldest pub in Shropshire – The Royal Oak, mentioned in the Domesday Book! Its rural situation is ideal for sightseeing, with miles of country walks in all directions, not to mention the beautiful Shropshire hills - a draw for walkers, riders and nature lovers alike! A wealth of birdlife (including buzzards, woodpeckers and ravens) has its home here. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, Severn Valley Steam Railway, Stokesay Castle, Shrewsbury, Ludlow and the Ironbridge Gorge, with its 10 museums, are each less than 15 miles away. The attractive market towns of Church Stretton (known as "Little Switzerland" by the Victorians) and Much Wenlock are both close by and offer a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. A superb location!
