DESCRIPTION

LOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING

Doddington Hall and Park lie on the west side of the A51 (London Road) from Woore, 5 kilometres to the south-east, to Nantwich, 8 kilometres to the north-west. The surrounding countryside is generally level and well watered, with numerous meres and mosses: Doddington Pool is presumably one such mere, while Pepperstreet Moss lies 500 metres to the west on the edge of the park. Bridgemere Hall lies 400 metres south of the southern boundary of Doddington Park. The park is bounded down its east side by the A51, but otherwise largely follows field and wood boundaries. The area here registered is 160 hectares.
