*************

Preston Montford Field Studies Centre, five miles west of Shrewsbury, is a large eighteenth century house with later additions, set in 12 hectares of grassland and woodland on the banks of the River Severn. It lies within easy reach of the meres and mosses landscape of north Shropshire, as well as the varied landscapes of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Opened as a Field Centre in 1957, Preston Montford is visited by large numbers of 16-18 year old students of Biology and Geography, as well as by younger aged school groups. Specialised interest groups regularly visit the centre. Over the last few years developed partnership work with the University of Birmingham and Botanical Society of the British Isles to tackle the decline in skills of field taxonomy.

It can accommodate 125 visitors at a time in twin and small dormitory rooms. There is a library and computers available for visitors to use during their stay at the field centre.
