Guided & Self Guided All-Inclusive Walking Breaks
Unpack & relax... leave the rest to us...

New for this year we are introducing organised all-inclusive walking breaks here at Magnolia. For small groups of up to six people, you will have a beautiful en-suite room for two, three or more nights in a Gold Award 4 star B&B. We will provide you with a packed lunch, walking route and map for the day then arrange to pick you up at the end of your walk and bring you back for well-earned tea & cakes!

For a completely relaxing and stress-free break we will take you out with a personal guide. We can plan your walks from a short circular amble to a full day’s walking…. All you need to do is tell us in advance what you need and we’ll do the rest! Elizabeth is a keen walker and Geoff is Chair of the Shropshire Hills AONB “Walking with Offa” project.

The scenery here in the Shropshire Hills is stunning and varied. There’s no need to rush, there’s too much to see and enjoy with views over into Wales and surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire countryside.
We can plan a gentle morning amble with a pub lunch at the end, or a meandering day’s walk with your packed lunch all prepared for you… all you need to bring are your boots.
When you get back tea and cakes will be waiting for you and we will book you a table at one of our fabulous pubs here in Bishop’s Castle.

Walk the Shropshire Way – the easy way

Why not take the opportunity to start walking the wonderful Shropshire Way? www.shropshirewalking.co.uk
The self-guided walk splits easily into sections, passing through the finest countryside in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
You can walk from Magnolia each day by using our complimentary transport service, or try one of the newly created circular walks following gentle meadows, beautiful valleys and taking in some idyllic and historic Shropshire Hills villages along the way.
Your choice is how far you want to walk each day and how long you want to stay
