Cinema
There are two cinemas in the local area: the Regal in Tenbury Wells and the Assembly Rooms in Ludlow.
The Regal is more convenient and has a charm of its own but has only one screen and does not always show the latest films.

Local Walks
A pleasant, short but sometimes muddy walk takes you across the fields to Tenbury. It’s about 1 mile away so allow 20-30 minutes each way, 1 to 1 ½ hours for a round trip including a potter in town.
Also the most attractive way to walk to the closest pub 'The Rose and Crown'. A quicker route is to walk alongside the A456 road (but pavements all the way).
