The Raven will whisk you back to the seventeenth century. In this lovely coaching inn you're in the very heart of Shropshire's ruined-but-unwrecked countryside with many a fragment of ancient masonry to trip over. Wenlock Edge is nearby. The food as always in Shropshire is rather special. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the welcome warm. The village has historical connections with the Olympic Games. For a small town Much Wenlock offers an awful lot to do. Indeed many guests taking a weekend break leave their car keys in the bedroom and spend all of their time here. There is an easy paced walk for those who simply want to soak in the atmosphere. For those who prefer more detailed history Much Wenlock can trace its ancestry to Roman times and has the famous Wenlock Priory dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. Theres the picture perfect Old Hall amazingly built in just two days in 1577 and the equally impressive Reynard Mansion built in 1682 as well as the much more humble but evocative Squatters Cottage not to mention the cobbled shuts ancient thoroughfares that used to link various hostelries. Nowadays Much Wenlock is home to high quality independent dress shops artists galleries and antique shops as well as award winning butchers bakers country grocers and farmers markets that combine to provide a wonderfully relaxed and inspirational shopping experience. We have a brigade of chefs who enthuse about sourcing the very best fresh produce from the abundance of award-winning food producers in the county and who create innovative dishes that feed both body and mind. Each of our 20 bedrooms are individually designed to make the most of the abundance of architectural features created by a building which has slowly evolved over hundreds of years.
