Escape to the Shropshire Hills this November for a luxury weekend of autumn walks, cosy evenings and big hilltop views. Explore Ragleth Hill, the Long Mynd and Caer Caradoc by day, then unwind at Tiger Hall with pizza by the fire, hot tub stargazing and a calming evening of journalling & mindfulness.
A crisp November weekend high above Church Stretton — mist rising through the valleys, golden bracken glowing on the hillsides, and the first hints of winter settling across the Shropshire Hills.Your boots crunch across autumn leaves as you follow winding woodland paths, climb airy ridgelines, and take in huge, peaceful views stretching across one of the loveliest landscapes in England.
And then… you return to Tiger Hall, a luxury hillside retreat with a roaring fire, hot tub bubbling under the stars, a pizza oven warming the garden, and cosy corners to curl up in with a cup of something comforting.
This is a weekend of walking, rest, reflection, connection, and proper comfort — blending big-sky adventures with slow cosy evenings, nourishing food, and time to unwind. Led by Janire from Ray of Sun Adventures and created in partnership with Anna from Wellness and Walking Holidays, this weekend is all about connection, adventure, and returning home feeling reset.
