Press Shout-Outs for Heritage Tours

By 12 March 2025No Comments

Soulton Hall’s expanded heritage tours have been featured in both Shropshire Live and the Shropshire Star.

The Shropshir Star has also kindly spotlighted the landscape tour in another article. 

Articles in both publications provide details on the tour options now available to the public. Both publications outline the two tour types: a landscape tour and an interior tour of Soulton Hall.

The landscape tour, scheduled for April 6th, includes a visit to the archaeological site of the lost castle of Soulton, the Well of Catharsis, and the As You Like It Wood. The route culminates at the Soulton Long Barrow and the dancing pavement.

Interior tours of Soulton Hall, built by Sir Rowland Hill, are scheduled for May 4th, June 1st, July 6th, August 3rd, and September 7th. These tours focus on the Tudor era, highlighting the hall’s architecture, Sir Rowland Hill’s role in the Reformation, and the displayed collection of Rowland Hill Furniture.

Both tour options include tea and cake. The landscape tour requires a moderate level of fitness, involving approximately 3.5km of walking. In case of inclement weather, the landscape tour will be replaced with an interior tour. Accessibility information is available on the booking page.   

Tickets for the tours are can be found on this website, and must be booked in advance.
