Benthall Hall
Benthall Hall is a handsome 16th-century stone manor house tucked into the wooded Severn Gorge country of Shropshire, close to the world-famous Ironbridge. The Benthall family — who still live here — have occupied the hall for centuries, and that sense of continuous habitation gives the house a warmth that grander properties often lack. A charming plantsman's garden and the medieval church next door complete a quietly memorable visit.
