Cycling & Walking



Cycling & Walking for all ages to enjoy!

Here at Alkington Grange Barns we have an Indoor Bike Store on site, with plenty of Bike Racks for you to secure your bikes. We don't supply bike locks, though, so please bring your own.

If you are not one for cycling then there are plenty of wonderful walking for all ages to enjoy. We have the Shropshire Way that runs through the farm or the Llangollen Canal to take you into Whitchurch.

There are some wonderful walks right on your door step with the Shropshire Way and Whixall Walks running straight through the farm.

The Shropshire Union Canal is less than a mile from our cottages and is wonderful walking for all the family. 


All the barns have a "Walk's Folder", which is filled with maps, leaflets and information about places to walk & cycle.


Please note bikes are not to be stored inside the cottages. Thank You.

Ellesmere 

Great for Walking or Cycling

Ellesmere - or as it is known The Lake District of Shropshire- is a wonderful place to visit with a wide variety of walks & a great place to cycle to.
The walks go around the nine different Meres that were created over 10, 000 years ago by retreating ice!! There are great footpaths and stunning countryside around each mere. There is also the Llangollen canal that runs through Ellesemere itself, which is also great for walking or cycling.
