Around Craven Arms.

Craven Arms is a small south Shropshire town that grew around a railway junction and livestock market, and it is close to Stokesay Castle and the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. It serves a wide farming area on the A49, with customers travelling in from scattered villages. Traditional building and farm-related trades are important. A website should list the villages covered and give clear travel and call-out information.

Further out, Knighton (11 miles), Tenbury Wells (13 miles), Presteigne (14 miles) and Leominster (15 miles) are within commuting distance.
