EXPLORE
IN MONTGOMERY
There’s so much to discover right outside the front door!
Relive history by visiting Montgomery Castle and County War Memorial, both provide excellent vantage points to enjoy the magnificent views across the border into England. Discover the tomb of Richard Herbert, George’s father, and the Robber’s Grave at St Nicholas Church. Enjoy a visit to Eaves & Lord Bookshop or to Claudia Lis Ceramics. The Old Bell Museum (just next door!) is crammed with objects and artefacts that tell the story of the town. Cloverland Model Car Museum houses an amazing collection of model cars compiled over many years by Miss Rogers, a veteran motor enthusiast. Browse around Bunner’s hardware/kitchenware shop, it has almost everything! Don’t miss Thursday, its market day, so enjoy the atmosphere as you shop for quality local produce on Broad Street.
