Indoor and Outdoor Activities
Whatever the weather, Shropshire offers plenty of things to do for families, couples, thrill seekers and everyone in between! Why not get out there and make the most of our unspoilt countryside? You can walk Wenlock Edge, climb The Wrekin, enjoy the tranquillity of the Long Mynd or the stark beauty of Caer Caradoc.
Want a little more adventure during your Shropshire holiday? Take a gentle river cruise on the Severn or take a kayak down Britain’s longest river. There are lots of places for the perfect family day out too! We've got farms, parks, soft plays, museums, walks and SO much more.If you prefer the quiet life, take in a show at one of the theatres nearby or perhaps enjoy a spot of retail therapy in one of our many independent shops. Shrewsbury in particular is a beautiful location for a day out shopping and people-watching... There's something for everyone when you stay with us at Coalport Station Holidays.
