Location
Eaton Constantine enjoys an elevated and peaceful setting just off the B4380, placing Crofters Lodge within easy reach of both Shrewsbury and Telford. Shrewsbury lies around ten miles to the west, a historic county town celebrated for its independent shops, riverside dining and mainline rail connections, while Telford is approximately ten miles to the east, offering comprehensive retail, leisure and business amenities alongside swift access to the A5 and M54, linking seamlessly to the wider Midlands and national motorway network. Daily life is enhanced by practical local transport, including bus services into Shrewsbury, and convenient road routes that make commuting and school runs straightforward.

The area is exceptionally well served for education across both independent and state sectors. Within Shrewsbury, distinguished choices include Shrewsbury School and Shrewsbury High School (shs, gdst), the latter an all-through girls’ day school in the town centre; further acclaimed independent provision is offered by Concord College at Acton Burnell and Wrekin College in Wellington, with its associated preparatory school now known as Wrekin Prep. For selective state schooling, Haberdashers’ Adams in Newport (co‐educational grammar, with state boarding for boys) and Newport Girls’ High School are both highly regarded, while Thomas Telford School in Telford is consistently strong and well connected for families commuting across the Midlands.

The surrounding countryside offers an exceptional lifestyle for those who enjoy the outdoors. Eaton Constantine is perfectly placed for walking and cycling, with a network of quiet lanes and scenic footpaths leading through rolling farmland and towards the Shropshire Hills and Wenlock Edge, both designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Popular routes include gentle village walks as well as more challenging trails for keen hikers and cyclists, all framed by breathtaking rural vistas.

The area is rich in wildlife and heritage, with historic churches, charming hamlets and traditional country pubs dotted along the way. For equestrian enthusiasts, there are bridleways and local stabling options, while leisure pursuits such as golf, fishing and country sports are all within reach. This idyllic setting combines the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of excellent transport links and proximity to vibrant market towns, making it ideal for those seeking a balanced and active lifestyle.
