For availability and prices see llandriniohall.com. Llandrinio Hall is the perfect base for exploring the varied delights of both Shropshire (to the east) and mid-Wales (to the west). It is located directly on the English/Welsh border.
Shropshire has been surprising visitors ever since the Romans first settled here. It has some 32 castles and stately homes, the best of which can be found at Ludlow, Stokesay and Attingham Park in Shrewsbury. There’s even a Roman city at Wroxeter. Shropshire also boasts many national horticulture collections and speciality gardens, like Wollerton Old Hall and Stapley Water Gardens.
Mid-Wales has just as much to offer visitors, too. Powis Castle near Welshpool is built from red grit stone and was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1952 by the 4th Earl of Powis. It features magnificent gardens with rambling Italianate terraces. Beyond Welshpool are the Elan Valley reservoirs, the Centre for Alternative Technology and the Snowdonia National Park.
