The bus ride out to Bishops Castle is always pleasant. Minsterley Motors run from the Shrewsbury bus station through Pontesbury, Minsterley and through the countryside to Bishops Castle. There is one delightful wooded valley section but the country is mostly open fields of sheep with some cattle. Bishops Castle is mostly one steeply graded winding narrow street with a cross road and small square high up.

I tried three of the beers on offer. From left to right:
Golden Spicy Bitter; Cleric's Cure, India Pale Ale; Rantipole, ultra light bitter |
 |
| We have found the kitchen to be very good. Hake with chorizo. |
 |
| Very tender duck breast with potatoes and red cabbage and a redcurrant sauce |
 |
| The cat which had been our guide around the small town square was sitting on the window ledge of the Three Tuns as we left, |

| This interesting building is on the main street opposite the bus stop. |
