Oswestry Cottages
Straddling the Anglo-Welsh border, our Oswestry holiday cottages
are firm favourites with lovers of history and countryside. Once an
important frontier town, an ancient hill fort looms high above
while Offa's Dyke National Trail marks the boundary. This
unique setting allows you to pop in and out of England and Wales as
many times as you like during your Oswestry cottage stay, giving
you a real feel for the fusion of cultures.
On the Welsh side are historic treasures like the castles of
Chirk, Powis and Whittington, said to be the former home of that
famous pantomime character! Natural delights, meanwhile, include
Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, the highest in
Wales.
Also close to your holiday home in Oswestry is the spectacular
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct World Heritage Site, built by Thomas Telford
- if you've a head for heights, experience mind-boggling
scenery and travel across by horse-drawn barge.
Family days out include woodland walks and picnics in Nesscliffe
Country Park, mini Land Rover rides and more at the award-winning
Park Hall Farm and many other fantastic days out in and around
Oswestry in Shropshire.
Exploring Oswestry
Back in town, join a themed walking tour and discover
Oswestry's nooks and crannies. Much of the centre is a
designated Conservation Area, with a wonderful mix of architectural
styles. Dip in and out of the attractive shops, the tempting
eateries and cosy pubs. And don't miss a trip to the market
(three days a week) or monthly farmers' market.
