Here's a suggested week's plan of the many things to do in and around the Pitchford Estate.
DAY 1:
Arrive and relax within the 1,000 acres of the historic Pitchford Estate. Explore the 18th century barn and enclosed garden.
Take a walk to see the Pitchford Tree House - the oldest tree house in the world.
Dine at our large oak table or go for dinner in one of the excellent local pubs such as The Bottle & Glass at Picklescott or the Horseshoes at Dorrington.
DAY 2:
Pop into Shrewsbury to explore one of England's finest medieval market towns and stop off to buy local food at the Battlefield 1403 farm shop, butchery and cafe on the outskirts of Shrewsbury.
Visit Acton Burnell castle and then walk up the Lawley or Caer Caradoc - part of the Shropshire Hill Country.
Go fishing as there are plenty of local pools within a few miles of Pitchford.
Stop off at The Royal Oak at Cardington on the way back for a well earned drink or pop into the Wroxeter Roman Vineyard to stock up on the local wine on the way back to Pitchford.
DAY 3:
Go riding at the local stables - Berriewood Farm and hack across the Estate or ride up the National Trust's Wenlock Edge from Mill Farm (Hughley).
Have a delicious locally sourced meal at one of Shropshire best dining pubs - The Crown at Munslow.
Pop into the ancient town of Much Wenlock on the way back to Pitchford. The town claims to the birthplace of the modern olympic games.
Enjoy an evening walk around the Estate or book into the new performing arts venue in Shrewsbury - Theatre Severn.
DAY 4:
A trip to Ludlow - considered the finest market town in England is a must. On the way visit the Ludlow Food Centre - a serious farm shop that makes its own cheeses.
After lunch and perhaps tea in Ludlow spare a little time to visit the National Trust's Stokesay Castle or the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm.
Relax by the designer fire place in the evening. Talk a walk outside if it's a dark clear night - you'll be amazed by the stars in Shropshire.
DAY 5:
Relax around the Estate in the morning and then drive up to the Long Mynd for a picnic on the moor. Keep an eye out for the grouse and wild horses.
If you want a more active day join up with 'Beyond Extreme' who organise paragliding on the Long Mynd. If you don't want to fly, go quad biking or paint balling with 'Border Quad Trekking'.
On the way back visit Pitchford Church, you'll get a view of one of the finest half timbered buildings in the country - Pitchford Hall - from the churchyard.
Have a night at the flicks in the art-house cinema in the centre of historic Shrewsbury - Old Market Hall.
DAY 6:
Drive towards Wales and visit either Chirk Castle & Gardens or Powis Castle & Gardens.
Stroll around the Estate past our flock of black and white Zwartbles sheep and perhaps you'll spot the albino guineafowl or hear the peacocks around Pitchford Hall.
Ask a local caterer to cook an end of holiday dinner from the finest Shropshire ingredients.
DAY 7:
Have a walk around the Estate to prepare youselves for the drive back. Try and pop into Ironbridge Gorge on the way back home to see some of its ten museums which include Blists Hill Victorian Town or Coalport China Museum.
