Be inspired by the beauty of the season with a creative autumn getaway at our cosy country house in the Shropshire Hills. Guided by a talented local artisan, you’ll enjoy two workshops in the mindful art of calligraphy. Suitable for both beginners and experienced calligraphers, fun sessions will focus on developing your signature style before putting it onto canvas as a take-home artwork and souvenir of your stay. And when you’re not busy getting crafty, you can explore the stunning countryside surroundings using handy walking routes available in our HF Country House Discovery Points.
