Getting Here

By Rail

The nearest railway station is at Craven Arms, 12 miles away. Often just asking people who get off may result in a lift. Craven Arms has several taxi services (Arms Cabs 01588 672734 / 07969693112) - list on station platform.
Welshpool and Newtown both have stations but are further away.
Most people get the train to Shrewsbury and then the bus.

By Bus

There's a regular bus service from Shrewsbury to Bishops Castle - however, the last bus is around 5pm so check timetables. The best site for this is www.tess.org.uk (Transport for All in South Shropshire). They run several shuttle schemes and have links to the major bus provision in the area.
The only think they miss out (strange) is the main bus service from BC to Shrewsbury. www.minsterleymotors.co.uk

Shropshire Hills Shuttle Buses run at weekends and Bank Holiday Mondays throughout the summer serving Bishop's Castle & Clun, Church Stretton & Craven Arms and with links to Shrewsbury. The buses go over the Long Mynd and Stiperstones hill ranges. For timetable details go to www.shropshirehillsshuttles.co.uk

By Road

Use your satnav if you dare . . . postcodes often cover a very wide area out of the centres.

Better still use your roadmap - for the last mile use this Multimap.com link >>Bishops Castle<<
