The Crown Inn occupies a delightful setting within the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, nestled between the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve to the west and the Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd to the east. It is an extremely popular area with tourists attracted to this beautiful countryside, and is a mecca for outdoor sports enthusiasts, especially those partaking in hill walking, pony trekking and both mountain biking and road cycling. The village of Wentnor is close to a number of towns including Bishops Castle (6 miles), Craven Arms (7), Shrewsbury (17) and Ludlow (18). It is also within an hours motoring of the Birmingham conurbation, being the second most populated area within Great Britain; all of which provide a large number of visitors to this picturesque part of Shropshire.
The Crown Inn is a centuries old public house which is reputed to date back to the 17th century. It is a character, stone built, cottage style property that sits at the heart of the village, surrounded by a number of similarly attractive buildings. The property appears to constructed mainly of stone and brick, with rendered and colour washed elevations under predominantly pitched slate roofs. It sits within a good size plot offering trade and private gardens, along with parking. It also has the benefit of four en suite letting bedrooms to entice customers from afar.
