Attingham Park
Built in 1785 by George Steuart (architect of St. Chad's Church in Shrewsbury) for the first Lord Berwick, this elegant stone mansion has a three-story portico, with a pediment carried on four tall columns. The building overlooks a sweep of parkland worth exploring, part of which is home to around 300 deer. Inside the house are painted ceilings and delicate plasterwork, a fine picture gallery designed by John Nash (1752–1835), and 19th-century Neapolitan furniture. Many events take place here, and the café and shop are excellent. The mansion is 5 miles east of the center of Shrewsbury.
