Background
Description
At the main crossroads was the "Anchor" public house at 1266 ft, the highest pub in Shropshire following the closure of The Kremlin at Clee Hill Village. It had been a pub continuously since at least 1830, until the last landlord retired in 2020, and features in the Mary Webb novel Seven for a Secret (1922) as the "Mermaid's Rest". Static caravans, camping and stabling for horses are available at The Anchorage, just to the south of the Anchor pub. Nearby, to the southwest, is Bryn Amlwg Castle, the remains of an ancient castle.
