    Severn Barn is one of five converted barns in the quiet northern part of the Attingham Park Estate, surrounded by 4,000 acres of parkland, woodland and countryside. Built in the first half of the 1900s to house animals at the former farm of Berwick New House, the barn is now a light and comfortable space with plenty of character and charm. You can book it along with its neighbouring barns to get together with family and friends. They share an eclosed garden, with a lawn, a firepit ready for barbecues, and each has their own dining patio. Outside the barns you’ll also find electric car charging points, a bike store and a dog shower.  

    There are a great many walks, cycle routes and waterways on the estate. A canal leads from the bottom of the drive to Berwick Wharf. You’ll have free entry to Attingham Park with its Georgian mansion, garden, orchard and natural play area, and you can explore the parkland out of hours when other visitors have gone home for the day. Attingham’s Carriage House Café, Stables Shop and second-hand bookshop are open every day.

    The village of Atcham and local pubs are 3 miles away, and the vibrant town of Shrewsbury is a 15-minute drive. Close by, there are canals, the rivers Severn and Tern, great Shropshire walks and attractions including Wroxeter Roman City and World Heritage Site Ironbridge Gorge.

    Larger groups can also book neighbouring barns Wharf Barn, Canal Barn, Tern Barn and Forge Barn.
