The Squire Farm is a small farm in the secluded, peaceful surroundings of
the Redlake
Valley in the southwest corner of Shropshire, near to the Welsh
border. The farmhouse, barns and the two holiday cottages are surrounded
by twenty-five acres of woodland and pasture grazed by sheep and
horses. There are also chickens, dogs and cats. A stream below the buildings meanders through some
ancient woodland and the River Redlake
runs along the northern boundary. The
approach is by a private farm track, which ensures complete
peace, privacy and safety.
The Squire Farm is about half a mile from the hamlet of
Chapel
Lawn where there is a village hall and a church. Bucknell
(3 miles) and Clun (5 miles) have shops, post offices, a choice
of pubs and there is a railway station at Bucknell. The nearest
town of Knighton, (6 miles) is an appealing Welsh market town
and can supply most of one’s needs. The very attractive
town of Ludlow
is about 15 miles east where you will find some
highly acclaimed restaurants.
For walkers, riders and cyclists,
there are plenty of footpaths and bridleways including Offa’s
Dyke and a mountain biking trail within 3 miles and for those
interested in archaeology, Squire Farm sits at the bottom of Caer Caradoc, an ancient hill fort. Squire Farm is an ideal base
from which to explore the many castles and historically
important border sites or the numerous gardens and country
houses. Click here for more about the area.
