Friday 25th to Sunday 27th June

Bridges hostel

Bridges Long Mynd Hostel, Shropshire

Dave J

A weekend in a peaceful location in the beautiful Shropshire countryside near Long Mynd. This small traditional hostel was the old village school in the valley between Long Mynd and Stiperstones. There are plenty of options for walking from the hostel. The Victorians called the area Little Switzerland and bottled the local spring water, but if you want something stronger, the splendid Horse Shoe Inn is only 100 yards from the hostel.

£19 deposit please. Total cost about £40.


Wednesday 30th June
