Shropshire Christmas tree forest getting ready for families
It may be autumn outside but thoughts are already turning to Christmas.
At Leaton Forest, near Bomere Heath, foresters are choosing trees to supply to pubs and restaurants, some schools as well as Attingham Park and Shrewsbury Town Council.
Soon the forest will be open for the public to go along and choose their Christmas tree for their home.
Families can enjoy a walk in the plantation, where they can choose and dig up their own tree in the forest or select a ready cut one at the barn.
Many families have two and even three generations that enjoy an annual trip to Leaton.
A spokesperson for Leaton Forest said: "We have started planting the next crop of Christmas trees into our plantations. All our trees are planted and managed by hand from a dedicated group of staff."
