Old Dairy Farm, TF9

As its name suggests, Old Dairy Farm is a traditional working dairy farm, home to a large herd of milking cows, and found lying on the Shropshire and Staffordshire border.

Just a few steps away from they yard, be greeted by the stately Clock house; originally built in 1891 and formerly the old stable block for the Estate, the house is also available to hire inside. Pass under its traditional archway, and then reach an imposing brick barn and walled garden.

Long stretches of private driveway pass through glorious parkland with far-reaching views across the valley, where the cows graze in nearby fields.
