Poynton rests in a quiet corner of Shropshire, a place where the land itself seems to hold its breath. It lies 9.5 km north-east of Shrewsbury (from Shrewsbury: bearing 55°T, OS grid SJ 570 178), and is situated north-north-west of Roden village.

The air here, particularly after a spring rain, carries a clean scent of damp earth and burgeoning greenery, a simple perfume of the English countryside. Poynton’s appeal lies not in grand pronouncements, but in the steady, unassuming beauty of its surroundings and the peaceful existence it offers.
