The Heart of England

Welcome to the Heart of England. Mutton Barn sits high on the Alne Hills, wrapped in ancient woodland and sweeping countryside views, yet within easy reach of Alcester, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick.

Step through the garden gate and you’re straight onto the Heart of England Way and Arden Way, with 125 miles of footpaths to explore. Whether you’re here for big-sky walks, Shakespearean history, cosy country pubs or simply to slow down and watch the wildlife, this is an area that invites you to breathe a little deeper and stay a little longer.
