Location
The property is located approximately 0.5 miles north of the village of Brockton. The market town of Much Wenlock is 5 miles distant. Bridgnorth 9 miles, and Shrewsbury 17 miles.
History
Hidden in a wooded valley near Wenlock Edge, the lake's construction dates back to the 18th Century. The lake was re-excavated and remodelled in the late 1980s, after which it became a private syndicate.
