Welcome to the Shropshire Hills Shuttle buses
Shuttles operate weekends & Bank Holiday Mondays
3rd May to 28th September 2008
Make time for a trip on the Shuttles - a wonderful way to explore the hills without the hassle of driving, map reading and parking.
It's 50 years since the Shropshire Hills were designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Shuttles provide a valuable transport network across the AONB linking the key market towns with the countryside and local attractions.

The service was started by The National Trust to help ease traffic congestion in Carding Mill Valley. Over the years this has grown into a network of routes which guide you through the stunning scenery of the Long Mynd and Stiperstones and wind along the Clun Valley to link to picturesques market towns of Clun, Bishop's Castle and Craven Arms.
Don't forget we would love to receive your photos for our picture gallery.
Visitor Information:
• Weather forecast for the area - click here.
• Details of Visitor Information Centres, accommodation, events and walks is available from www.shropshirehills.info
• Travelling by car? Park your car in Church Stretton or Craven Arms and enjoy a day out on the Shuttle. It's much more relaxing than driving and also helps ease congestion in the Shropshire Hills. Both towns are about 30-45 minutes from Shrewsbury, Telford and Bridgnorth.
• In 2008 the Stiperstones Shuttle will be once again be stopping at the village of Pontesbury, which is the largest village on the route. It has a number of pubs as well as the Earl's Hill Nature Reserve, which is a short walk away from the village.
We look forward to seeing you in 2008...
