Grinshill & Corbet Wood 

 

Just fifteen minutes from the Bear by car, the paths and viewpoints around Grinshill offer fantastic panoramic views from the top of a sandstone ridgeline, and a maze of paths through the mixed conifer and broadleaf woodland – a beautifully diverse place to walk and explore.

 

The Wrekin

 

Twenty minutes from the Bear, this iconic range of five hills is one of Shropshire’s most recognisable natural landmarks, partly covered by ancient forest and home to wild deer, bats, reptiles and orchids as well as migrant birds and woodpeckers. The area can be explored by bike or horse, or on foot. 

 

Shropshire Hills AONB

 

To the south of Shrewsbury, the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty encompasses a huge range of landforms, geology and wildlife, with heathland, grassland, woodland and rivers. The AONB features fifty hills that are great to walk up, and includes a variety of walks from easy meanders around managed countryside to the epic 136-mile Shropshire Way, and the 177-mile Offa’s Dyke Path.
