Local Honey Shrewsbury

Sundorne Castle Estate is a historic rural estate established since the 17th century, situated to the east of Shrewsbury and encompassing the villages of Uffington and Upton Magna, with landscapes stretching along the Rivers Severn and Tern. The estate began producing honey in 2023, with hives tended by skilled beekeepers who harvest carefully to ensure colonies retain sufficient honey to thrive through winter. The honey reflects the diverse Shropshire flora surrounding the estate, resulting in a rich, complex flavour profile. Products are packaged in glass jars rather than plastic, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and reduced environmental impact. The estate plants bee-friendly wildflower seeds to support biodiversity and maintain healthy bee populations. In addition to their honey, they also produce honeycomb. The estate is actively managed by the de Quincey family, descendants of the original Corbet family, who continue to develop the estate as a diversified, community-oriented country business. Their honey is stocked at multiple local retail outlets across the Shrewsbury area.
