Beautifully situated in the Shropshire Hills National Nature Reserve, the woodland enjoys fine outlooks across the countryside, to the jagged quartzite tors along the ridge of the Stiperstones, in the distance. Amongst the many local myths and legends, it is said that, of all the countries in the world, the Devil hates England the most, and that if the Stiperstones sink into the earth, England will perish. The story continues that, from time to time, the Devil flings himself down into his chair in the hope that this will sink the hill! Local Myths Mucklewick Wood is an attractive mix of mature conifers and younger planting, and there is a vast array of wildlife. Birds to be found in the local area include raven, curlew, red grouse, skylark, meadow pipit, stonechat, buzzard, pied flycatcher and wood warbler. The access is good and the woodland is situated within easy reach of Shrewsbury and the West Midlands. That fine hostelry “The Stiperstones Inn” is just up the road!

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
