Cottage Reference: RNP Grading:

Situated in the heart of the South Shropshire Hills, an AONB, the Acton Scott Estate has remained largely intact, and within the ownership of the Acton family for some eight hundred years. Comprising a number of small farms and cottages, set amongst rolling pastures and woodland, its landscape has changed little in two centuries. At the centre of the estate is the Elizabethan mansion, next to which is the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, where the land is worked with Shire horses to demonstrate the farming practices of 1900, and is open to the public from April to October. The two spacious properties offered here both date back 400 years, and each offers most attractive accommodation, with unique period details. The surrounding area offers a profusion of activities for all ages. The spectacular scenery of the Church Stretton Hills and Welsh Border Country is ideal countryside for walking, cycling and horse riding, whilst Church Stretton and Ludlow provide sports centre facilities, including swimming, tennis and golf. Close by are the medieval towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury, both with fine castles and a wealth of Tudor, Queen Anne and Georgian architecture, as well as theatres, cinemas, restaurants and good shopping. Amongst the many country houses and historic sites to visit are Stokesay Castle, Weston Park, Berrington Hall, Powis Castle, Wenlock Priory and Wroxeter Roman city, all within easy reach.......
