Salford Hall is a historic Grade I listed building located in the village of Abbots Salford, Warwickshire, England. It is a well-preserved Tudor manor house, dating back to the late 15th century, and is considered a significant heritage site in the region.

The hall is constructed in the traditional half-timbered style, with a striking black and white facade that exemplifies the architectural features of the Tudor period. It consists of two main wings, enclosing a central courtyard, and is surrounded by picturesque gardens and extensive grounds.

Throughout its history, Salford Hall has been associated with various notable figures, including the family of Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden. The hall was also known to have connections with the Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order.

Today, the hall operates as a luxury hotel and wedding venue, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the past. The interior has been carefully restored to reflect its original splendor, with oak-panelled walls, ornate fireplaces, and period furnishings. The Great Hall, in particular, showcases a magnificent hammer beam ceiling, adorned with intricate carvings and heraldic symbols.

In addition to its architectural significance, Salford Hall boasts stunning gardens, which feature manicured lawns, flower beds, and a charming orchard. The estate also includes a tranquil lake and offers picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.

The hall and its grounds are open to the public, allowing visitors to experience the rich history and beauty of this exceptional Tudor manor house.

Harvington Mill This ruinous watermill building is listed GII but is in poor condition. There are the remains of two water wheels - one on the right hand gable wall and one inside the big arch to the left. Some machinery can be seen through the barred windows but access was neither sensible nor possible, although urban explorers have found a way in.

Anchor Lane Bridge crossing the A46 The A46 is an important cross-country route which runs from the West Country to the North Sea.  It starts to the east of Bath in Somerset and ends in Cleethorpes in North East Lincolnshire.  It is no longer a continuous route as large portions of the old (1923) road have been lost, bypassed, or replaced by motorway development.
