Wilderhope Manor
Wilderhope Manor is a remote and atmospheric Elizabethan manor house set deep in the Shropshire hills near Rushbury, little altered since it was built in around 1586. Its striking plasterwork ceilings and great oak staircase survive in remarkable condition, giving a genuine sense of Elizabethan domestic life away from the crowds. The isolation of the setting — surrounded by ancient farmland and quiet hills — adds to its rare, time-capsule quality.
