A weekend table in Shropshire: countryside walks and local dining
Shropshire's rolling borderlands are home to some of Britain's most authentic food traditions. From century-old cheese makers and organic farm shops to Thai-infused countryside kitchens, Whitchurch and its surrounding countryside provide the ideal setting for a restful weekend escape.
Morning Strolls & Heritage Bakeries
Start your Saturday in Whitchurch town centre. Wander along St. Alkmund's church square, where morning bakeries display sourdough loaves made from stone-milled wheat and buttery pastries warm from the oven.
- Whitchurch Farmers Market: Sample Shropshire Blue cheeses, cold-pressed rapeseed oils, and hand-jarred wildflower honeys.
- Canal Towpath Walk: An easy, scenic 5-mile walk along the Llangollen canal with views of grazing cattle and narrowboats gliding by.
An Evening at the The Old Mill Dining Room
After an afternoon walking the hills, return to The Old Mill for a thoughtfully prepared dinner combining English countryside produce with aromatic royal Thai recipes:
