Burwarton
The Burwarton Estate is located in Shropshire, more specifically between Ludlow and Bridgnorth. The Estates comprise of 11,000 acres in the vicinity of the Brown Clee Hill which, at 540m, is the highest point in the county. The Estate is picturesque and part of it even lies within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty!
The family inherited the estate in 1807. This followed the marriage in 1796 of Harriet, daughter of Benjamin Baugh, to Hon Gustavus Hamilton, later 6th Viscount Boyne. During the 19th century, the estate was further enlarged until
some 8,500 acres was sold in 1919. This reduced the estate to a core comprising the three parishes of Burwarton, Cleobury North and Aston Botterell.
The landscape of the estate has remained much the same over the years, with considerable amounts of woodland being planted and pools being constructed on the Brown Clee Hill. The Bridge pool is thought to have been created in the 1830s as a fire pool for the house.
There are also the pools known as Brancepeth and Boyne Water, which is approximately 1.5km from the main house. This became the graveyard to a German plane during one of the World Wars. It now thrives with wildlife and is a real beauty spot on the Estate.
