Welcome to the Crown Country Inn near Craven

Arms in Shropshire. The Crown is a Grade II listed

building that has been transformed into a

comfortable Inn and Restaurant with many original

features still in place. Inglenook fire places,

flagstone floors and carvings in wooden beams set in

an historic atmosphere for you to take lodgings or

dine. Situated between Wenlock Edge and the Clee

Hills, in the Vale of the River Corve, the Crown's

history dates back into Tudor times when it was

formed into one of the Shropshire Hundred Houses.

The Crown was first licensed in 1790 and is still a

central meeting point in the Shropshire countryside.

2 AA Rosettes for food, 4 star AA Inn classification,

listings in the Good Food Guide, Michelin Eating Out

in Pubs Guide and numerous other awards are a testament to the commitment of the resident owners Richard and Jane, since they took over in 2001.

Set in an "area of outstanding natural beauty", located within easy travelling distance of many interesting towns including the small historic town of Much Wenlock (the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games), Craven Arms (ideally positioned for walking and cycling) and the bustling market towns of Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury. The modern town of Telford offers good shopping facilities. The Crown makes a perfect base to stop whilst enjoying sights such as the Ironbridge Gorge, Stokesay Castle, Ludlow Castle or the Severn Valley Railway. If you really want to see the beauty of one of England's undiscovered counties, a walk upon the Wenlock Edge or Long Mynd will astound!
