May half term fun and foraging

The forecast is looking bright for this May’s half-term and outdoor adventure is high on the agenda for LGL kids. From Craven Arms to Croft Castle, explore open gardens, historic houses and our local beauty spots. And if the weather turns, head over to Ludlow Assembly Rooms for story telling and family movies.

Learning should always be this fun!

River adventures with Shropshire Raft Tours

Hire a kayak, canoe, mini raft or paddle board and explore seven miles of river and the beautiful Shropshire countryside along a 7 mile route from Coalport to Bridgnorth. Park your vehicle in Bridgnorth where Shropshire Raft Tours will meet you and provide a free shuttle up to the start point. They also offer a breakfast club where you can meet in Coalport where your trip starts and enjoy a tasty breakfast at The Brewery Inn before you head off on the river.  At the end of the trip you will be transported  back to your car. The crew will fit you with a buoyancy aid, paddle, dry bag and helmet (if required) and after a safety briefing we will help you onto the river.  Prices start from £59.00 for a 2-person raft.

And when all that exploring works up an appetite…
