Apley Hall from the opposite bank of the River Severn

Lunch time on the bank of the River Seven looking over to Apley Hall. Over the river and to the right. We could see Apley Terrace near the Trig Point we had visited previously.

"The house, occupying a gentle eminence, and thrown into relief by trees which form the background, is a pleasing feature in the landscape as seen from the river or the railway....."The Severn Valley, John Randall, 1882.

Apley Hall was built in 1811 and castle features added in Victorian times. It was a private house until 1962 and then a boarding school until 1987 and now refurbished after falling into disrepair. (3339 views on Panoramio)
