Moved into the garden (and house) in summer 2014. About 1.5 acre garden, with "wood", orchard, pond etc and 4.5 acre traditional upland hay meadow, all managed organically. Located in the Clun Forest area of the Shropshire Hills, on the Welsh border. Sandwiched between Rhos Fiddle nature reserve and Riddings Wood PAWS, with a couple of houses and upland grazing. The meadow is a Local Wildlife Site.
