Local Area
Although Boreatton Park boasts 250 acres of adventure lovers paradise, there might be the odd occasion when you want to break out of the PGL bubble and explore the local area. The local villages of Ruyton-XI-Towns and Baschurch are only 3 short miles away, both with convenience stores and several pubs. If it’s the city lifestyle you are missing, Shrewsbury is 12 miles from the centre where you’ll be spoilt for choice with restaurants, shopping, pubs, clubs, cinema and bowling. For the gnarly adventurers - North Wales is a short drive, with plenty of climbing, walking and paddling.
