Close to the Meres Ellesmere, Fenn's, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses. Lake Vyrnwy, Shropshire Hills and North Wales.

" The best bird watching garden I have come across"

AC Cambridgeshire - former RSPB Reserve Warden.

For Bird Watchers, Yew Tree House Bed and Breakfast Shropshire is a real treat. There are 3 acres of stunning garden and woodlands teeming with wildlife. Just a few hundred yards away are the unspoilt Shropshire Union Canal, Llangollen Canal and in particular, the Montgomery Canal which is almost a nature reserve in itself. Opposite Yew Tree House is a flooded meadow with a fascinating variety of waterfowl.

Close-by are the Meres at Ellesmere and the Shropshire Wildlife Trust's Wood Lane Reserve. Slightly further afield is Fenn's, Whixall, & Bettisfield, Mosses probably the best lowland raised bogs in Britain and a Natural England National Nature Reserve. Yew Tree house is also convenient for the RSPB's Reserves at Lake Vyrnwy.

It requires no effort to see the varied as well as some rarer birds at Yew Tree House B&B. While you enjoy your locally-sourced home cooked breakfast, you can watch the birds on the bird feeders enjoying theirs. Obviously, nothing can be guaranteed, but it is unusual not to see a Tree Sparrow or Woodpecker over breakfast.

Tree Sparrow
