🎉Celebrating 90 Years of Eaton Manor
🎉

Congratulations to Visit Shropshire Hills member, Eaton Manor near Church Stretton, on an incredible milestone! This year marks 90 years since the Madeley family first moved to Eaton Manor, and over the generations, they’ve transformed it into a renowned countryside escape.

Eaton Manor is a luxurious estate in the heart of the Shropshire Hills, offering a collection of beautifully restored holiday cottages. It’s the perfect retreat, with private gardens, scenic views, an on-site games hall, a heated pool, and extensive grounds for walking and relaxation.

Today, Eaton Manor is managed by Nichola and her brother Julian, the fourth generation of the Madeley family to live and work here, with the support of their father, Tony.

To celebrate this anniversary, the family is hosting a Birthday Lunch in partnership with the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund. The event is now fully booked and we’d like to congratulate Eaton Manor on its achievements and wish them a lovely day!

You can discover more about this unique property and its rich history on their website, through the link in the comments below 👇

Shropshire Wildlife Photography Workshops
Shropshire Wildlife Photography Workshops

Are you interested in capturing the beauty of Shropshire’s wildlife and learning how to take photos like this ? If you want to take your nature photography skills to the next level, then Visit Shropshire Hills member, Terry, who often shares his amazing wildlife photos with us, offers both 1-2-1 and group photography courses. If you love hares, then his brown hare workshop is for you. Run at Eaton manor, this workshop gives you the opportunity to spend a half or full day learning how to photograph Britain's fastest land mammal. Terry also runs Working Shropshire Farm photography workshops at Court Farm Gretton. Farms are rich places to find photography opportunities; nature, macro and landscape. With hares about to start boxing and lambing through April, this is an ideal time to book yourself on these courses. Terry also runs regular workshops at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, with 30 acres of riverside water meadows to provide you with a multitude of photo opportunities. The next is on Wednesday 1st March. You can find out more about the workshop at Terry's website https://www.terrymdcphotography.com/

It’s #nationaltreeweek and we are lucky to have a huge variety of trees, some very old, here in Shropshire. In his book, The Trees of Shropshire, Andrew Morton points out that “Shropshire is particularly well endowed with old or otherwise remarkable trees” Shropshire’s oldest oak is near Bishops Castle and is estimated to be about 1200 years old. And Shropshire has many much older ancient yew trees. Whether they’re dressed in their spring finery, showing off their stunning autumn colours or providing a leafless silhouette against a winter sunset or fog, we love them all. Do you have a favourite Shropshire tree? #visitshropshirehills #visitshropshire #southshropshire #shropshire #trees #oaktrees #yewtree #shropshirewildlife #shropshirecountryside

White tailed bumble bee
White tailed bumble bee

It’s #nationalinsectweek this week. This bumble bee is probably - there are a few bees that look very similar - a male white tailed bumble bee. Whilst it can be difficult to tear our eyes away from Shropshire’s amazing huge views, if we get really close up to our wildflowers occasionally, we’ll discover many different kinds of insects quietly running our world. On the 26th Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms, you can Join Meadows Ranger and Bee and Wasp expert, Ian Cheeseborough for a “Talk and Walk on Bees” You’ll learn more about the lifecycles of our local bees and wasps. Enjoy this introduction to solitary bees where you will be looking at nesting, plant associations and cuckoos. Then walk around to see what we can find. Over 50 species have been recorded at the centre over the past few years. Please bring wellies/walking books and waterproofs. If you have identification guides and hand lens bring those along too. The session is £15 per person and runs from 10am – 2pm and booking is essential and there are just a few places left. Call on 01588 676060 to book.

Our Story

The Shropshire Hills is a jewel in the crown of Shropshire’s lovely countryside which is why parts have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for over 60 years. Here traditional market towns sit comfortably among its rolling hills and valleys.

With an abundance of real food and real ales, entertaining festivals, independent shops and eateries and plenty of great walks, the Shropshire Hills are justifiably earning a growing reputation.

For the uninitiated it can be a case of ‘where to start’? If food is your thing then Ludlow won’t disappoint; as Shropshire’s gastronomic capital the gourmet restaurants are supported by the numerous delis, restaurants, cafes and food markets, all serving quality local food and not forgetting the famous Ludlow Food Festival.

Real ales fans gravitate towards Bishops Castle as the place to be seen and with several micro breweries, including the famous Three Tuns and more pubs than a town this size should really have, it’s easy to see why.
