Seven Scenic Walks in The Shropshire Hills
From rolling hills to ancient woodlands to picturesque valleys, the Shropshire Hills are best explored on foot. If you're seeking adventure and tranquillity, here are seven scenic walks in and around the Shropshire Hills, close to The School House B&B, that promise a visual delight:
5 Rainy Day Ideas from The School House B&B
We’re firm believers that there’s no such thing as bad weather, but with the recent July showers we must face the reality that the sun doesn’t always shine in Chapel Lawn. Here are some ideas of how you can get the best out of your stay at The School House B&B if the weather isn’t so good (also great ideas if it's not raining too of course!).
The Shropshire Hills in the Palm of our Hand
Here at The School House B&B we’re perfectly located to enjoy some of the best countryside in Shropshire. You might even say that we've got the Shropshire Hills in the palm of our hand…
Back to the Iron Age in Chapel Lawn
I’ve never really been a fan of history, as some of you will know from my earlier blog entry Horrible History: Hillforts and Hegemony, but it’s starting to grow on me.
A Feast of Walking Festivals
We’re spoilt for choice as far as walking festivals go in Shropshire and the bordering counties. We have three excellent festivals within 30 minutes’ drive of The School House B&B - Bishop's Castle in May, Church Stretton in June and Kington in September.

Today the 30 Days Wild challenge is to write something about nature, so here’s my (somewhat far-fetched perhaps) B&B take on that.
Progress Report
It's about time I shared some before-and-after photos - here are some of our new bathroom, study and bedroom. Progress continues on the guest rooms, more to follow in the coming weeks.
Our Escape to Shropshire
When Dave and I decided we wanted to ‘live the dream’ and escape to the country to set up a Bed and Breakfast, we knew it meant that we’d have a lot to learn. What we didn’t count on was exactly how much and what we would have to learn before we’d even bought the property...
