What to do?
wild conTENTment offers the ideal spot to savour the great outdoors with acres of wild space for rural pass times such as birdwatching, walking and cycling. Public footpaths on the farm give you easy access to some areas of the farm where we have enriched the environment with benches, log piles and even the odd rope swing for children/adults to explore. Watch the sun go down and gaze at the dark night skies. With very little light pollution the stars can be mesmerising. Ask for equipment we can lend or even a few tips.
After you have reconnected with nature why not learn a new skill or take time out to reset and enjoy a relaxing pass-time such as Yoga or Group Art lessons ( see activities/pass-times/courses) You can do these on site or make use of the Party Shed at the Farmhouse, just ask for details .
We have formed an exciting collaboration with GO vertical run by Matt, a climbing instructor with over 20 yrs experience who can offer a fabulous rock-climbing adventure at Llanymynech Rock. The experience will run from 11am-3pm. Getting to the site involves a 30 min walk along the canal-towpath or 10 min drive where you will be greeted by Matt, your rock-climbing aficionado . You can choose between abseiling or rock-climbing, or a bit of both at this stunning site with bookings taken for groups of up to 10 people, no age limit! Adults must accompany children.
And when your all done- there is even a pub 5 minutes away to grab yourself a well-earned celebratory drink! Please check availability on camp-site before booking your rock-climbing!

For mountain bikers there is great access to Llynclys common, Nesscliffe Hill (very popular with locals) or for the experienced the awesome Revolution bike park is well worth a visit.
You can get easy access onto The Shropshire Way and Wat's Dyke Way with several other great walks from the farm of varying length to choose from. National Cycle routes can be picked up very close to the farm.
Accessible by foot or bike
The canal towpath along the Montgomery canal brings with it safe access for children to walk and cycle without the worry of traffic. The section of canal next to the farm is currently disused but in the exciting process of being restored. Fancy joining in?? They are always keen for volunteers. A 15-minute stroll either way along the towpath brings you to running water on the canal where you can try to spot wildlife or launch your own canoe. If you don't have your own these can be hired from Canal Central. You can also take a horse-drawn Narrow boat trip at weekends.
