Description
Tucked away in a quiet part of Shropshire is the graceful red sandstone ruined castle, and dogs are welcome to visit with you. The castle was built in the late 1200's by Edward I's Lord Chancellor, and Parliaments were held here in 1283 and 1285. Working from home in some style! By 1420, the castle was abandoned and left to decay. Today the ruins are very atmospheric and it's a quiet spot to enjoy a picnic. Ideal for a break from driving and it's completely free to get in.

Finally found it as satnav took us to the college entrance on the other side. But we could see castle so drove on a bit further. Nice quiet area to stretch legs and take in the historic ruins.
