Alkington Grange Barns are in a wonderfully rural location and surrounded by gorgeous views. In addition to the Shropshire Way footpath which passes through the farm, other local walks include the 15-mile circular Whitchurch Wheel, the 33-mile Sandstone Trail, and Offa's Dyke National Trail. Each offers something unique and different - sure to whet the appetite of any keen walker. Cyclists and mountain bikers can also expect a high standard of rides. Those searching for a challenge will enjoy the trails around Church Stretton while those who like it easier can follow the canal path along the Llangollen Canal to Whitchurch and Grindley Brook. The Sustrans Mercian Cycle Route 45 takes riders along gorgeous country lanes between Whitchurch and Shrewsbury. There is bike hire on-site for those who need it, as well as secure bike storage.
Days out can be as relaxed or full-on as you choose. Stay home and make use of the excellent facilities by swimming in the pool, playing football or tennis, tucking into lunch at the woodland picnic spot near the wildlife trail. If you're on holiday for a milestone birthday or a hen weekend, then why not book a pamper party, or make a celebration even more special by booking a local chef to cater or hold a Pottery Party at Doodle Alley located in Whitchurch itself.
