Places to Visit

There is a multitude of things to do both here on site and the local area.

We are right in the heart of The South Shropshire Hills. Our access gives you the opportunity to bring bikes or walking and hiking gear. There is paragliding and gliding a stones throw away. So its up to you how best to spend your time here. We can also hire you bikes and give great advice on the local area. You can park in our ample car park, next to our campsite, camping pods and of course the cafe/pub/ restaurant.

As the centre is set in a few acres of grounds we have camping facilities with pods and camping ground. Also onsite is our Bike Showroom and Shop so you can demo ride any bike we have available as well as browse clothing and accessories. We also offer maintenance and skills from our MTB and Outdoor Centre.

Throughout the year we host various events the largest being the CRC Chain Reaction Marathon that is a two day Road Bike and Mountain Bike Event in the middle of summer.
