Meadowlands lies on a quiet lane leading to a forested hill and Elizabethan lodge. Views from the house extend over fields to the Longmynd and Lawley hills. Set in good sized gardens, the grounds extend to 8 acres which include horse paddocks and a woodland trail through 1000 trees.

Meadowlands is in an ideal location for discovering Shropshire and the Welsh Marches. On the edge of the South Shropshire Hills area of outstanding Natural Beauty, it lies in the heart of Cadfael country.

Three excellent pub/restaurants lie under 4 miles away. The Thatched Pound in Leebotwood, The Horseshoes at Dorrington and The Fox at Ryton.
