South Shropshire pub provides a place to stop, enjoy a drink and a good meal and take in beautiful surroundings

The location of a pub can sometimes make trading and being viable a struggle due to being relatively isolated or surrounded by other pubs in what becomes a competition for trade.

However, in some cases, the location can make a pub the perfect place to go for a visit or to stop at while on a long journey to feed and water and take a break.

One pub which has made the most of its location and become a popular place for all people is the Salway Arms in Wooferton, which is ideally placed at the junction of the A49 and A456 roads on the Herefordshire and Shropshire border, centred between Tenbury Wells, Leominster and Ludlow.

The pub has been on the site since the 18th century and was built as a coaching inn which has had a canal and railway station nearby and has gradually grown and been extended over the years.

It underwent a major refurbishment in 2013 and has become a pub, a restaurant and a hotel which has made use of the space to provide a spacious feeling on the inside and not leave drinkers or diners feeling like they are crowding each other.

There are two separate bars named The Watering Hole and the Snug, which are blessed with comfortable seating, while the remaining three rooms are given over to dining in what is an area full of rustic beams and tiled flooring, as well as log fires and burners in most of the rooms and five bedrooms for people looking to stay over.
