Local information

  • Mayfield Farm is set in a lovely large plot in the village of Elson, just 1.5 miles to the pretty market town of Ellesmere. The area is known as the ‘Shropshire Lake District' with the local landscape having a series of nine meres which were formed by the retreat of glaciers during the last ice age. They are unique in Britain as they do not have a flow of water into them to maintain the water level. The largest mere sits beside Ellesmere's town, and has a Green Flag award for being one of the best green spaces in the country. It is surrounded by woodland walks, gardens and historic parkland.
