Local Attractions
The largest inland county in England and one of the least populated, Shropshire offers spectacular, unspoilt countryside with a wealth of opportunities for both the first time and regular visitor.
Dining is also a pleasure in this wonderful location - click here to see our dining pages for more information about local pubs and restaurants and our home catering services for larger groups provided by Aramayo and Bespoke Buffets.
In north Shropshire, Bon Accueil provides an excellent base for cycling, walking, fishing, visiting Ironbridge World Heritage Site, shopping visits to nearby Chester and Shrewsbury or exploring the Welsh Marches or Shropshire Lakes - all around half an hour's drive away. Positioned on a Roman route to Chester and on a border that was fought over for many centuries, there are many sites of historical interest in the area. Nearby Hawkstone Park is popular with both young and old, although it is admittedly for the fitter amongst us. It is made up of intricate pathways, ravines, arches and bridges and King Arthur addressing his troops in the awesome caves. In nearby Wem we also have our very own 'Museum of Myth and Fable', Mythstories, where Shropshire's legends are brought to life. There are so many castles, gardens and Roman artifacts within easy travel distance in Shropshire, Wales and Cheshire and, for golfers, Whitchurch boasts two 18 hole courses with others at Hawkstone Park and Carden Park. If that isn't enough, then how about horse riding, hovercrafting, canoeing, flying, ballooning - all within a comfortable drive's distance.
