Euro-agriculture has not reached, steep little hills, deep narrow lanes,
slow winding muddy rivers and, in the spring wild flowers everywhere. To

century, built on a steep south facing hill, with many pubs, restaurants,
craft shops, a bank and two fine breweries. Why not take part in the Bishops Castle Walking Festival in June, www.walkingfestival.co.uk To
the south, Clun, with its ancient castle ruin and meandering river, is home
to the Green Man Festival on the May bank holiday, when hundreds of
visitors flock to see the Green Man banish the Ice Queen on the bridge
across the river. www.clungreenman.org.uk
