Want to experience and live surrounded by a veritable wildlife feast all year? Then this will provide it for you!
In 2005 the current owners started managing this property to benefit wildlife and as a result - along with meadows of Dryhill Farm next door - it was recognised as a Shropshire County Wildlife Site (CWS) SO49.41 in 2018.
The main features at Clemcroft include 3/4 acre of wildlife garden surrounded by holly hedges and trees, in the middle of which are wild flower lawn-meadows (with orchids) totalling nearly 1/2 acre and 'butterfly enticing' wild flower beds.
The garden adjoins Clemcroft's two acre wild flower meadow, which together are home for around 100 species of flowering plants, over 25 species of breeding birds, 22 species of breeding butterflies, and dragonflies.
Flowering in the spring starts with violets and cowslips and ends in the autumn with harebells and devil's bit scabious, whilst overhead fly spectacular red kites, buzzards, kestrel and sparrow hawks.
