We have leisure shops, individual provision shops and businesses offering range of services unexpected in so small a town. So before heading for the nearest large out-of-town supermarket to do “shopping as usual”, try Bishop’s Castle for a more enjoyable and hassle free experience. The town offers plentiful, free car parking for those with patience to negotiate its somewhat cluttered streets and lots of pubs, cafes and restaurants for rest and refreshment and good places to buy food for picnics, barbecues or evening meals (see “Where to Eat” section and “provisions” in the Shopping and Service guide. Clun too offers a wide range of shops and services with pubs, cafes, (see “Where to Eat” section), shops, galleries, a museum and a garage. Car parks are free and ruined castle with its riverside grounds and the ancient packhorse bridge make it a picturesque small town. Look for “Shropshire Hills Buy Local - Be Sustainable” leaflets and posters, a campaign to encourage residents, businesses and visitors to use local shops and services to help sustain the area’s economy. www.shropshirehills-buylocal.co.uk Bishop’s Castle’s 18th century Town Hall re-opened last summer after major renovation work (see places to visit).
