Moved to the house and garden in 2014. Garden is about 1.5 acres, with pond, orchard, 'wood', borders, etc, with a 4.5 acre traditional hay meadow accessed by the remains of a green lane. All managed organically. The site is situated between Rhos Fiddle NR (Shropshire Wildlife Trust) and Riddings Wood (PAWS). Elevation ranges from 410m to 450m. Land use in the area is principally grazing (mostly sheep) and there are a couple of neighbouring houses.
