Help needed to tidy up castle grounds
The Whittington Castle Preservation Trust is looking for volunteers to help tidy up around the castle grounds.
The 900-year-old-plus castle near Oswestry is cared for by a community trust which relies on volunteers in all kinds of activities, from outside work to running fundraisers and giving up their time in the bookshop and tearoom.
A new drive has been put in leading to the rear of the castle and the trust says it is looking for help to re-landscape the area.
It would also like to hear from people with a few hours spare to plant some wildflowers, tidy the moat and cut some bushes.
"We're also looking to borrow some wheelbarrows, shovels and a big strimmer," a spokesman for the trust said.
Anyone who would like to help can contact castle manager, Sue Ellis on 01691 662500.
