Had a lovely 1 hour pony trek with my 6 year old son. The staff were really friendly & great with me as a very nervous completely inexperienced rider. Gemma even walked alongside me instead of riding her own horse because of my nerves. I was no need to be anxious, Mr Kash was very well behaved except when he was trying to have cheeky snacks along the way ha! Thoroughly recommend, the girls were great with my little boy too.

We had a great afternoon on our Alpaca walk. The farm is in a beautiful setting with fabulous views. Caroline came to greet us and told us about the new baby cria they had who was only 4 days old! We could see from a distance and was already very mobile! We were introduced to our very knowledgable guides who explained how to handle and walk the 3 alpacas (1 each for us) and trainee 1 year old River (who had a few sit down protests along the way - which was hilarious!). We walked up the lane and around the field, which took over an hour in total, mainly due to the boys stopping to eat!! Which was fine and to be honest was great as we got to spend more time with them! We had a hands on session half way round where we could stroke them and take a few more photos, and then carried on back to the farm. We fed them pellets when we got back and spent more hands on time with them. They were so easy to feed, we didn’t feel their teeth at all due to the way their mouths are designed so if you’re worried about feeding them...there is no need to be! We were then taken round the farm to meet the other alpacas, which was really lovely! They all have different characters and are beautifully coloured. The staff were really knowledgable, they knew the names, ages of their flock and also about alpacas in general. We asked quite a lot of questions which they answered confidently. We then returned to the farm house where we had refreshments and cake and the opportunity to have a look in the shop and weaving workshop! We bought a souvenir and sat outside with our refreshments. We all had a really great afternoon and would definitely recommend Clivewood Alpacas to everyone and will be back ourselves! Thankyou!
3. Grindley Brook Locks

There appears to be two ways of accessing the Shropshire Union Canal at Grindley Brook. The best way is via the Lockside Cafe on the left as one travels to Chester from Whitchurch. The other way is opposite the Horse and Jockey pub which is a little further along the road to Chester. The road is dangerous so be careful. The canal with locks is found along a path next the Texaco Garage. The locks themselves are narrow and deep so please also be careful around these.

Walcot Hall is considered as one of the top wedding venues with self catering holiday accommodation in Shropshire. With its turquoise freestanding ballroom, characterful accommodation and eclectic furnishings, it really is a feast for the eyes and perfect for unique wedding ideas. The 30 acres of grounds, including one of the finest arboretums in Britain, offer a wide variety of panoramas, floral displays and garden features including the extensive lake, walled courtyard, unusual statues and a fountain. Whether you are interested in hosting a wedding or hiring one of our holiday cottages for a weekend away, this vast estate makes for one of the most impressive wedding venues and memorable holiday destinations within the Shropshire Hills. Former residence of Lord Clive of India, Walcot Hall is a private family home which also offers group history tours by appointment. The arboretum (26 acres) is also open to public in the afternoons (excluding Saturdays) between April to October.

Walcot Hall is an amazing venue with beautiful grounds and gorgeous buildings, however it is the fantastic staff at Walcot Hall which set it apart from the rest by a mile. We originally booked 2 years in advance of our planned 2020 date and the whole process was made effortless by Lucieanne. We had help when needed and were also left alone when there was nothing to do which suited us very well. When the coronavirus pandemic meant our wedding became suddenly restricted to just 15 people Luke and the team helped us through the difficulties of planning and replanning. In the end we had a beautiful day with our ceremony in the main hall overlooking the gorgeous Shropshire countryside. The team made sure all the rules could be followed without impacting on the flow of the day. We were still able to have free reign of the grounds after the ceremony which meant we could have beautiful photographs to share with the friends and family who couldn’t be there. We would definitely recommend Walcot to other couples!
