Only open about 6 days per year - see National Triust website for details. Entry is free for National Trust members (you will still need to book a free timed ticket for each person visiting, you will be asked if you are a member at the booking stage and will need to bring your membership card with you on your visit). Hidden in the Shropshire countryside, Cronkhill is an unexpected vision of Italy. Built to resemble a stone Tuscan villa, the building was designed by architect John Nash and is the best known example of his Italianate villa designs.
