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 and Rail

Shropshire Hills Shuttle Buses: The Shuttles are 16-seater mini-buses which provide easy access into the Shropshire Hills. The Secret Hills Shuttle route is now a circular ride between Craven Arms, Clun and Bishop's Castle, and is running every Saturday and Bank Holiday weekends. The Long Mynd & Stiperstones Shuttle remains the same 'figure of eight' circuit and will run every weekend and Bank Holiday Monday, as in previous years.
From Bishop’s Castle use the 552/553 bus service (Bishop‘s Castle – Shrewsbury) to Plox Green (a Request stop), Minsterley or Pontesbury to link with the The Long Mynd & Stiperstones Shuttle.
