Woodhouse lies on the SW boundary of Richard’s Castle parish, three miles from the A49 in the valley between Ludlow and Leominster (O.S. SO 479 688). Our property is at the bottom of a tree-lined valley called The Goggin. This is an area near to the Mortimer Trail, enjoyed by walkers and energetic cyclists. Come and enjoy our quiet location (apart from agricultural sounds of long horn cattle, sheep and the occasional tractor) and views over the valley to Orleton village. Our local shop/post office is in Orleton, the nearest bus stop is in Richards Castle 1 3/4 miles away, just near The Castle Inn pub. There are two pub/restaurants also in Orleton. We are five miles from Ludlow and nearly seven miles from Leominster.
