We stumbled on this Centre by accident and we were glad that we did. We received some great information about the surrounding areas and places to visit.
The coffe shop is good and worth a visit.

This is a lovely small museum, cafe and gift shop located near to Ludlow and the Shopshire hills. The entry was £3.50 for adult entry to the exhibition, and includes a small yet fascinating look the history of the area.
It begins with a huge Mammoth skeleton and has many information boards giving an insight into the geology, history and folklore of the surrounding hills. The recreation of an iron age hut has very high quality theming, and there are a number of archaeological finds from Roman to Medieval. The museum finishes with a "hot air balloon" ride through the Shropshire hills, which is essentially a panoramic movie set within a darkened, circular seating gallery. Although the resolution on this movie was low by modern standards, the film was very enjoyable and the concept of a ride in a balloon works very well.
Upon exiting the museum, you find yourself in a cafe area which leads back into the gift shop and entrance to walks etc. I did not use the cafe myself, but it was busy and looked to be of good quality. The gift shop had a lovely mixture of local interest gift ideas, from plush woolly mammoths to books on the myths and legends of the hills.
I found this attraction to be unique and very interesting. If you are visiting the shopshire hills area I would highly recommend paying a visit, whether you wish to walk the hills or are merely passing by. Centres like this are hidden gems and are guaranteed to inspire.

We paid £3.50 each to visit the exhibition which was OK. There were several boards to read about the local area and a short film to watch about a balloon flight over the hills.
We also had tea and cakes in their cafe, which were reasonably priced and tasty.
There are some quick easy walks around their grounds, many of which are on made-up paths.

This would be ideal for kids, but I went as an adult and still had a blast. Doesn't take long to go around, but it's reasonably-priced and also good to do on a rainy day!
