"Bishops Castle, with its cheery coloured houses and lively neighbouring chocolate box town of Clun rank among the most enchanting places in South Shropshire. Each has a huge dollop of personality, an ancient history and a pride in keeping local traditions alive. A mix of charm and fascination, they are a magnet for artists and craftspeople, writers and musicians, free-thinkers, eco-campaigners, real-ale drinkers." |
