Onny Meadow lies in an area of natural beauty where one really feels away from the world. It’s gentle gradient affords a lovely vista of the Shropshire Hills AONB to the east across a small valley through which runs the River West Onny– itself forming the England / Wales border. The river forms the eastern boundary of Onny Meadow enabling access to a natural source of water for any new owner.

One enters the meadow in its north west corner where an area of hardstanding allows for parking. This is the highest point of the meadow from where fabulous views can be enjoyed with Black Rhadley Hill and Cefn Gunthly, both peaks in The Shropshire Hills, framing the meadow beautifully to the west. The meadow is surrounded on all sides by mature broadleaved species giving a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, whilst also being divided into two sections by a woodland belt which dissects the meadow half way down, creating an upper and lower section.

The abundance of trees in the vicinity of the meadow make it an ideal spot for woodland creation as natural regeneration could be harnessed alongside active tree planting, for which grants are available. The grass has been left longer at the fringes of the meadow which has begun the process of rewilding. The ecosystems and wildlife already active nearby will soon migrate to colonise any young woodland created.

As one heads down the meadow towards the valley, past the woodland belt and through the lower section, a wooded area can be found around the banks of the river in the western section. The trees provide welcome shade on a hot summer’s day and place to sit and listen to the water babble along as it meanders along to the south. The river’s name derives from Welsh and means where the ash trees grow. The river begins in White Grit in Shropshire which lies further up the valley to the north of Onny Meadow and is a major tributary of the River Teme.

Onny Meadow would suit those looking for a private parcel of land with abundant natural beauty in a secluded location – there are no public footpaths across the meadow. The diversity of the land is a real feature of it, encompassing a mix of open meadow, belts of woodland and a river.

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