ATTINGHAM – May 18th – SSNTV Mini Tour ~ Walk & talk

May 21, 2019 by ssntvrb

Some of the group ventured to unfamiliar parts of the Attingham estate with ranger Colin on Saturday, dodging the showers to learn more about some of what is hidden from public view.

There was the biomass boiler, and fuel supplies in terms of wood processing unit and chipper. Much of Attingham is now self-sufficient in heat and hot water.

As well as the beautiful deer and landscape there was a visit to the onsite butchery – here there’s processing of the whole carcass through to preparation of packs for sale.  Attingham’s claim to fame it that it sells venison with less than 1 food mile!

There’s still much WWII infrastructure tucked away, with former concrete runways in need of a usage and noteworthy historic WWII buildings.

There was also discussion of future workdays, including path works and for next year a potential return to a former site at Lee Brockhurst, north of Shrewsbury, restoring parts to heathland.
