Springhill Farm Riding Stables

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!

Stonehouse Brewery

Our bar & shop are open 6 days a week for you to enjoy a drink and take away some beers. Our bar is lovely and cosy with a wood burner for when it’s cold. A large viewing window lets you take a peek into the brewery and distillery and watch us in action on brewing days. For those warmer days we have plenty of spaced out seating among our cider apple trees in our pretty orchard, where you can enjoy sampling from our range of drinks produced on site. We produce a variety of beers, from rich porters or easy drinking session bitters to crisp refreshing pilsners and IPA’s. We press our own Sweeney Mountain Ciders and also have Henstone Distillery gins, and other spirits. We also offer wine, cocktails and soft drinks. Food available from 12pm - 7pm Wednesday - Saturday from our very own BBQ & smoker. BBQ chicken; burgers; pizzas & lighter options. Dogs and children are very welcome. A trip to Oswestry is not complete until you’ve visited us!

I've been a fan of the Stonehouse Ales for a number of years but this was the first time we've spent an evening on site with friends. Wonderful ale, cider and spirits at a genuinely decent price as you'd expect as you're drinking "at source". Good choice of big hearty food again at a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly, located in a wonderful rural setting and clearly attracts a "decent crowd". Not many better places to spend an evening with friends. Recommended

We have used the laser for a few times for the kid's birthday parties and the service has always been great and the kids love it! We decided to try out the 'Lost in Space' escape room and it didn't disappoint. Myself, my partner and the kids aged 10 and 11 really enjoyed it. There was lots of puzzles and problem solving and the set up was fab and well thought out. Paul was a great host as always. Would definitely recommend.

Wow! What a hidden gem in the countryside. Beautiful backdrop to the outside sculptures which you can hire a buggy and go around if you don't fancy walking. The inside sculptures are placed all over, dont forget to look up too! Great Christmas area for gifts and the tea room entices you with the smells of fresh coffee and warm scones when you walk in. Fantastic place to visit, I will be back for more... plenty of parking, very friendly and informative team of staff with a selection of outside garden pots and ornaments for sale so you can take something home too.

Bywater Cruises - Horse Drawn Canal Boat Cruises

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.

Park Hall the Countryside Experience

Visit Park Hall Countryside Experience, the amazing National award winning farm park with lots of animal fun, action and adventure for the kids. There are regular hands-on animal activities, and each day there is a spectacular pig racing event, even try your hand at milking a cow! At Park Hall the kids can play till they’re worn out, try out the two massive indoor play barns with a new ‘Demon Drop Slide’ and bouncy castles. Discover the great outdoors where there are adventure courses, woodland walks and a picturesque lake. Kids can even ‘learn to drive’ in electric cars or landrovers. If you love science checkout the Science Illusion Zone. There’s a Victorian School, Iron Age Roundhouse and Welsh Guards Museum too. A great day out for all the family.

We had a great day out here. Plenty of outdoor activities (and lovely weather) meant we could stay outdoors all day without needing to try the indoor activities. We loved the dinosaur egg hunt, the driving school, playareas, go karts and the barrel ride. We all enjoyed the maize maze and the pig racing. Easy to social distance from other adults as there is plenty of space and it wasn't over crowded. I saw staff cleaning the toilets and the barrel ride was sanitised after each turn. Our first proper attraction style outing since Covid and we felt safe and had a great time. We would definitely recommend.

Cae Glas Park

Reviewed By 865nicki - Bishops Castle, United Kingdom

Ok, December probably isn’t the best time of year to visit, still it’s an attractive and largish park in a border town. There are lots of monuments, mainly WW I&II related including the town’s war memorials and a statue of Wilfred Owen (born in Oswestry) Nice bandstand, crazy golf, kids play area. The flower beds I’m sure are quite lovely at any other time of year bar winter. Free. Limited Parking nearby, but lots within a few minutes walk.

Phoned the track the morning of our planned visit to see if they had any availability and the last on the phone was very helpful, managed to squeeze us in later that day for a gold format race with 6 other people, we arrived early as we always like to see the track and be ready for race time, all the staff were very friendly and helpful, all facilities are clean and well maintained, once we were signed in we were briefed regarding track rules etc, then it was race time, got to say it’s probably the best outdoor track in the area, karts were very well maintained and drove very good, all in all a great few hours having fun with my 16year old son, would highly recommend this as an activity for adults and children over 8 I think! Will definitely return next year and want to plan a corporate event
