Mount Cottage  with its own walled garden, has recently been converted from a small 17th Century barn, retaining much of its original character.

        

Bishops Castle is a very small market town of great character, has a long and fascinating history and many old and picturesque buildings. Little remains of the stone castle, built in the 12th century by the Bishop of Hereford, but much of the stone from it was used to build many of the houses at the top of the town.

It is a unique centre for exploring the surrounding countryside with well marked walks over moorland, farmland, hills and wooded valleys, and also in Forestry which is particularly good for dogs.

Both riding and fishing can be easily arranged. There are also lovely gardens and country houses/castles open to the public, including Clive of India's Powis Castle with its stunning hanging gardens.

The Mid Wales coast is only 60 miles away and the drive passes through outstandingly beautiful countryside.

Offa's Dyke is close, and the Shropshire Way runs through Bishops Castle.
