Be sure to add at least one of these three places to your itinerary. The Ironbridge Gorge showcases a time when local mines literally fuelled the Industrial Revolution. The bridge was a world-first when constructed in 1779, and looks as impressive today as it did at its official opening nearly 250 years ago. Liverpool is about an hour's drive from the barn, with lots of places to eat, drink and shop as well as the historic Maritime Mercantile City district that was once one of the world's busiest ports. Over the border in Wales is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, an impressive feat of engineering that takes boats from the Llangollen Canal to the River Dee.

Local attractions include the Roman ruins at Wroxeter, the Grade I listed house and gorgeous gardens at Attingham Park, and the elegant redbrick Erddig Hall. There are museums and galleries, golf courses, cycling routes and mountain bike trails, and even a rally car track close by. Slightly further afield but still near enough for a day out are Chester Zoo and Alton Towers.
