As a family-owned and operated business, Longmynd Travel has been providing exceptional coach hire services in Shropshire and across the UK for over five decades. Since our establishment in 1973, we’ve grown from a small local operation to a respected name in coach travel across the UK.
Founded by George and Joan Evans, Longmynd Travel began its journey in the picturesque village of Snailbeach. Today, the second generation of the family, Mark and Val, proudly continue the legacy. We’re thrilled that the third generation has now joined our ranks, with Matthew Sheppard-Evans bringing fresh ideas to our tradition of excellence.
While our roots remain in Shropshire, we’ve expanded our operations to meet growing demand. Our current headquarters at Lea Cross, just outside Pontesbury, provides us with state-of-the-art facilities on the edge of the beautiful Shropshire Hills. This location allows us to maintain our connection to our local community while also serving a broader clientele.
At Longmynd Travel, we pride ourselves on our diverse and well-maintained fleet of 22 vehicles. We offer:
16-seat for smaller bookings.
A 34-seat for medium-sized parties.
53+ seat coaches for larger groups.
High-spec coaches for premium travel experiences.
At Longmynd Travel, we believe in combining the warmth of a family-run business with the professionalism of a modern coach company. Our commitment to safety, comfort, and customer satisfaction has been the cornerstone of our success for 50 years, and it continues to drive us forward.
Whether you’re planning a school trip, a corporate event, or a day out with friends, Longmynd Travel is here to ensure your journey is as enjoyable as your destination. Experience the difference that five decades of expertise can make to your travel plans.

My friend hired longmynd travel for her 40th birthday. We travelled from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton on one of their coaches. Mark the driver turned up on time and was well presented and very professional. The coach we had was a luxury coach and wow was absolutely amazing. It was spotlessly clean and even had a television on it so we didn’t miss the England match. Would definitely recommend them and will be on my list if I ever need to book a coach myself.

We have used Longmynd Travel on a number of occasions and most recently for a trip to London – the coaches are always immaculate and the drivers (many over the years) are always smart in appearance and extremely polite and accommodating. The service is always top class.
