1. Springhill Farm Riding Stables
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 87 reviews
The riding stables situated on the Wales / England border, overlooking the Ceiriog Valley giving instant access to great off road riding on tracks, fields and bridleways. From an hour's trek to enjoy the scenery, a fast hack to enjoy the lovely horses, a lesson in flat work or jumping with our qualified instructor, a day ride or trek for all levels of riders to a residential holiday or trail ride in this lovely part of Wales.

I love this place! Everything about it from the wonderful horses, staff, scenery and friendly atmosphere. I came here 10 and 8 years ago with my University riding club and loved it back then! We decided to come back this year to relive our youths and we were not disappointed! Fantastic fast paced rides with plenty of canters and gallops, stunning scenery and views, the horses were wonderful, fit and well cared for. Ellie, Liz and Dawn were fantastic trek leaders and really looked after us and made sure we had fun each time. It was lovely to see Steve and Sue again and we enjoyed the BBQ and picnic and pub stops en route again too! This is such a fantastic place - we have now decided to make this an annual riding holiday trip and we are all so glad we decided to come back nearly a decade later! Thank you so much to all the staff and horses!

3. Bywater Cruises - Horse Drawn Canal Boat Cruises
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 64 reviews
Horse Drawn Canal Boat Trips In this day of fast cars, commuters and computers, we are proud to keep our feet firmly in the horse age. There is no better way to relax and unwind from the stress of modern living than to sit comfortably aboard our special horse-drawn narrowboat and enjoy a memorable journey as you cruise through unspoilt Shropshire countryside on the quiet waters of the Montgomery Canal. In the ‘heyday’ of canals, thousands of horses were employed pulling cargo boats along the canals of England and Wales. Today our narrowboat “Countess” is one of only half a dozen horse-drawn narrowboats in the country. She is the only one running regular cruises on the narrow canals of the UK. So if you are looking for a totally relaxing experience step back in time with us.
4. RSPB Lake Vyrnwy
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 35 reviews
Our visitors' centre and gift shop are the ideal places to start your visit. Join a trail through the woodland and birds are soon all around you. You can see and hear pied flycatchers and redstarts, while dippers nest by the lake, and above you ravens, buzzards and peregrines soar in the skies. There's plenty for children including nestbox and animal trails, and a wild playground.

It is lovely area to visit with plenty of walking and cycling tracks in an area which has outstanding beauty mixed with the marvels of engineering which are a necessity. There is quite a lot to see here so allow a few hours and don't forget to visit the cafe and the visitor centre
5. Henlle Park Golf Club
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
Created over 130 acres our Premier Course set in beautiful Georgian Parkland, Henlle Park is a true test for every level of golfer. The mature oak trees provide protection to approach shots with natural lakes and pools making tee shots challenging too. The yardage on red tees (Par 72) is 5347 yards, yellow tees (Par 70) is 5854 yards and white tees (Par 70) is 6161 yards.

Henlle Park is an excellent golf course, a little hilly when compared to the other two town courses, but a true test for golfers of all abilities. We did not play it this year but fully intend to be back next.
