The Shropshire Lakes and Hidden Highways cycling break explores the gently rolling, quiet Shropshire Plain. North Shropshire has many small beautiful glacial lakes, mosses, rare plants and wildlife.

Choose the easy break, or the moderate break with slightly longer cycling distances. This is an exceptionally quiet cycling holiday with small lanes and few cars making it an ideal holiday for those wanting a peaceful wind down for a few days. Shrewsbury is nearby allowing opportunity to visit this historic town either at the start or end of your break.

Cycle along quiet lanes, through pretty villages like Loppington, English Frankton and Clive, and past many small lakes dotted around the Shropshire Plain. Visit Colemere Country Park, the pretty town of Ellesmere (with its weekly market, Mere, heron watch and canal wharf). The three night break also passes Hanmer Mere, Hawkstone Park and Follies, and Morton Corbett Castle.

Highlights

  • Pretty lakes and Colemere Country Park
