Haughmond Hill Cafe set for new operators
It's a pit-stop for thousands of walkers and cyclists heading to one of Shropshire's best-loved beauty spots – and now new operators have the chance to get their hands on the Haughmond Hill Cafe.
A new tender is being offered to run the log-cabin cafe at the entrance to the woodland on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, after the previous lease agreement came to an end.
The Forestry Commission which owns the site has now appointed property firm Stonesmith to find a new operator.
The smell of sizzling bacon and the promise of a warming cup of tea greet walkers and cyclists returning from taking in the expansive views over Shrewsbury and beyond at the end of the trails across Haughmond Hill.
The site attracts about 170,000 day visitors a year, with many stopping off at the purpose-built cafe, which opened in 2006, at either end of their walk.
