About this property
This wonderful wooden pod is situated in a unique rural location, accessed via a bridge crossing a stream, that it overlooks from its elevated position. It provides a relaxing retreat within the Shropshire Hills where you can walk, cycle or drive onto the Long Mynd. The National Trust owned Long Mynd has many small valleys, all with picturesque streams and footpaths to explore. Church Stretton (3 miles) has further walks and cycle routes, especially the renowned Cardingmill Valley, with its delightful waterfall not too far away. The town itself has a mix of independent shops, cafes and pubs to enjoy after an active day exploring the area. Don't miss a day trip to the unesco site at Ironbridge (17 miles) to learn about the history of the area where the Industrial Revolution began. The market town of Ludlow is also 17 miles away, with its attractive Tudor architecture and impressive castle. This couples retreat is set in a tranquil environment elevated above the Brook Cound, a tributary of the River Severn. The pod offers an off the beaten track experience and an opportunity to get away from it all and enjoy the sound of the stream and watch the wonderful wildlife.
