Wilderhope Manor

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A lovely Elizabethan manor house standing on the slope of Wenlock Edge. Wilderhope was built in 1585 and consists of 4 gabled blocks under a stone tile roof. The windows retain much of their original 16th century glass.

The manor is entered through a central porch which features a suitably nail-studded door of oak. The walls are timber-framed with plaster infill. The most striking features of the interiors are the finely carved spiral stair, and a number of excellent plasterwork ceilings, particularly in the hall and dining area. The plasterwork depicts common Elizabethan symbols such as the Tudor rose and Prince Arthur's Feathers. As for the staircase, it is built of solid blocks of oak with a central newel post stretching the full 2 storey height of the stair.

In addition therre are several 16th century fireplaces. There are a pair of circular walks available through the woods and farmlands surrounding the manor.

Please note: though owned by the National Trust, the manor is operated as a youth hostel. This makes little difference as far as visiting the manor goes, but may mean that some rooms are not accessible on the day.
