About Ruthall Manor

Ruthall Manor sits beautifully within the stunning Shropshire countryside. Set against the Clee, the 1- acre garden is defined by an unusual and mature collection of architectural trees, which subtly divide the garden into intimate sections.
These areas are carefully linked by winding paths and creative use of colour combinations. Shape and texture are further balanced with delicate planting schemes and rare or distinctive plants.
The traditional front lawn is flanked by striking, mature borders and leads onto a low-maintenance, gravel, art garden and ha-ha; while the stumpery and woodland gardens reveal rare specimen trees, curious artifacts and many hidden treasures.
Clematis and roses scramble through an eclectic collection of wrought-iron work, unique pottery and secluded seating, climaxing in vibrant candelabra primulas, iris and bog plants which frame the old horse pond and offset the tranquillity and beauty of the willows.
Addition this year a view point for Medieval Village Site showing base of ancient
Dovecote in the orchard.
