Bishops Castle is an ancient town, which dates back to 792 AD and is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), but unfortunately the castle from which it derives its name is no longer in existence. It is a lively market town, and has many facilities including a primary and secondary school, leisure centre, small cottage hospital, dentist, doctors, restaurants, public houses (one of which brew their own beer), petrol station and a wide and varied range of independent shops and boutiques. There is a good bus link to Shrewsbury every day, with local rail links at Broome, and Craven Arms.
