The Old Vicarage sits at the heart of the picturesque village of Lydbury North, within the South West Shropshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (National Landscape).
This friendly village has a volunteer-run community shop, an excellent pub, a church and a primary school. Enjoy gentle village strolls, including woodland and lakeside walks at the stunning Walcot Estate, featuring lakes, woodland and stunning scenery.
There are several small and friendly country towns in the area as well as many National Trust and English Heritage properties. For hikers, we are very well placed to entice you to put on your boots and visit Offa’s Dyke, the hill fort at Bury Ditches, Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd. Ludlow, famous for its beautiful buildings and vibrant food scene, is only 25 minutes away.
Also known as ‘Little Switzerland’ thanks to its dramatic landscapes and scenic walking trails, is just 20 minutes’ drive away.
