The visitor centre is very nice, very smart and informative. There is a good cafe there too. Well worth a few quid to go and learn about the area's history, geology and archaeological sites. There's a copy of the mammoth skeleton found nearby too, which is very cool. The marked walks were not so impressive, but it was March and the area had recently been subject to heavy rain and floods.

Intrigued and lured in by the signage we stopped in on our way from Stokesay to Church Stretton.
Unfortunately this just wasn't for us. The shop and centre weren't especially distracting and the museum appeared closed so perhaps we missed out.
There looked to be plenty of outdoor activity possible so I'd say this place is better suited to young families and/or dogs with loads of energy to run off.
As far as couples' visit - not really something I'd recommend.

We went for a walk here which was lovely, however more signage is needed. The cafe is expensive for what you get and staff was OK not very welcoming to be honest.

Loved learning about the mammoth and the history of the beautiful surrounding Shropshire countryside. The film gives a great overview of both the history and beauty of the area. Lots of lovely walks are signposted from here, with a range of distances. We then enjoyed some well priced drinks at the cafe, served by friendly staff. Finally picked up some items for Christmas gifts from the shop, lots of choice and some great value items.

Lovely coffee shop attached to salop leisure very relaxing environment. Great menu choices but expensive for some items ordered juice for my daughter and it was a small carton and was charged £1.35 no way it was worth that and must be a massive mark up but little other choice for children. Would visit again but would be as a great because of cost. Clean environment staff ok why not rude not very welcoming either.

I am a regular for coffee and lunch at Salop Leisure, food and coffee is always good, you may pay a bit more but the quality is there. The staff are brilliant, always very cheerful helpfull, they serve everyone with the same attention to detail. Tables are always cleared and cleaned very quickly.

This is definitely my favourite cafe in all of the Shrewsbury or Telford area, and always my first choice for lunch.
I have a real penchant for scones and these are the best I've ever had ANYWHERE! The fruit scones are packed full of juicy raisins and melt in your mouth. You can have them with cream & jam but they are heavenly simply with butter. Only thing is, you need to get there early and have them with morning coffee as they are often sold out by afternoon tea!The toasted sandwiches and Panini's are also lovely, but my other particular favourite is the jacket potatoes with chicken & bacon. They are a little pricey but are worth every penny.
The staff are always polite and friendly and super efficient. This cafe is always my first choice for lunch or meeting up with friends and I cannot say anything negative about it.

After a super morning at a hawk walk, local to Shrewsbury. What a perfect location to call by and stop for lunch.
Some of us had a baked potato which was presented fantastically and plenty of filling which makes a change.
Other meal ordered were again of highest quality.
Even when staff were extremely busy, any request made was fulfilled quickly and efficiently and nothing was any trouble.
Staff were very friendly and positive,
Brilliant team work all around.
We enjoyed it so much we've booked a big group to return for breakfast next week.

Being locals we have visited a few times and today Hubby and I had lunch here.
It is a lovely cafe, light and airy, good vibe. Good selection of lunch time food with specials.
Only down side was that out of the 5 cafe staff we saw, only 1 was serving and a queue very quickly formed because as is usual nowadays the coffee machine is very slow. Food excellent and cakes looked lovely.
Always a good stop off when visiting Love Plants.
