Acton Scott

The Shropshire Hills are a walking paradise; don’t forget to take in Ragleth Hill and Wenlock Edge, rural idylls made famous in ‘A Shropshire Lad’ by the poet A.E. Housman. Further afield are the medieval towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow. Shrewsbury boasts over 600 listed buildings and Ludlow is a foodie capital famous for its castle and theatre festivals. You couldn't be better placed than Acton Scott for a family holiday in Shropshire.

What to do at Church Stretton

Although your canvas hideaways are not on a working farm, you will be supplied with a fresh bottle of milk from the Proper Good Dairy, whose cows graze on the nearby fields. If you fancy a morning stroll, it’s a short walk to the dairy for a top-up from the milk vending machine. On your way back, admire the estate’s farmsteads, stone and timber-framed cottages, untouched woodland and open pasture. From your canvas hideaway, you can enjoy the sounds of owls and skylarks and the beauty of the surrounding flora and fauna. Take an evening barbecue on the veranda before dipping into your private hot tub (bookable in advance) beneath the stars. All of the canvas hideaways come with private hot tub and panoramic views of the surrounding hills and comfy beds to retire to after your exertions.
