Enchanted wooded parkland, sweeping gardens and a house with a surprise, Dudmaston is something unexpected in the Shropshire countryside. A much loved home for over 875 years you will find the family rooms scattered with photos and perhaps an odd pair of shoes or two peeping out from under a table. The unexpected galleries create a total contrast, with their formal, crisp lines. They were designed by the last owner, Rachel, Lady Labouchere, to house her and her husband’s differing modern and traditional collections of art for the visitor to peruse.
The gardens provide amazing vistas and tranquillity while the orchard is the perfect place to relax and for the children to let off steam. For more stunning views and getting up close to nature head to Big Pool and Dingle woods, while the wider estate provides extensive walking routes for year round enjoyment.
Look at the boathouse!
It looks like a chapel.
It is rather a fancy boat house
A house with a lake and woodland is a joy. I have to put up with a white sand beach.
The lakeside walk is a nice way to spend a bit of time but a walk down a white sandy beach would be equally as nice
Each of these images is perfect Cherie… this is one of your very best presentations… i love the reflections…..peter:)
Thank you Peter that is a fine compliment coming from you
It looks finely situated above the lake, Cherie. I like your selection of pictures here
The down to the lake from the house is quite something
Beautiful English countryside, Cherry. I would especially like going inside and seeing “an odd pair of shoes or two peeping out from under a table.”
The National Trust like to dot shoes about the place to make it look lived in and homely
