The Lodge is ideally placed for exploring the Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire countryside. Manchester Airport is our nearest at 1 Hour away. The Roman towns of Chester and Shrewsbury (Wroxoter) are only a days march away (or about 30 minutes in the Car), and there are a host of activities to entertain you within five minutes drive of the Dodington Lodge. The Sandstone Trail begins (or ends) in the Whitchurch Jubilee Park, which is located a few minutes walk away from the lodge. Local attractions include the Rally School (the most fun on four wheels) and The Parachute Centre Ltd (Ok if you want to throw yourself out of a perfectly good aeroplane). The Lodge is situated in the bustling market town of Whitchurch. The town acts as the beginning and the end of Regional Cycle Route 31, which runs from Whitchurch via the market town of Ellesmere (our local ‘Lake District ’) and onto the border market town of Oswestry, located on the English side of the England/Wales border. There are numerous golf courses within a 12 mile radius of the lodge.
