Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre

Welcome to the Outstanding Natural project

Here at Grow Cook Learn, our charity’s goal is to connect people to the rich outdoor world around them. We enable people to experience, discover, learn about and be inspired by the food, history, landscape and wildlife of the Shropshire Hills.

Located in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Discovery Centre and Onny Meadows, run by the charity, already acts as an important touch-point for the many visitors attracted to the area’s great walking, history, wildlife and wealth of local food producers. It also provides a vital green space used by many local people spending that all-important leisure time with friends, family and pets.

The Centre offers a varied education programme, out of school family activities, themed events, a walking festival, and our 30 acres of meadow are managed under a higher-level scheme to protect the special habitat including traditional wildflower meadow, heritage orchard and coppice woodland.
