Preston Montford Field Studies Centre, 5 miles (8 km) west of Shrewsbury, is a large eighteenth-century house with later additions, set in 12 hectares (30 acres) of grassland and woodland on the banks of the River Severn. It lies within easy reach of the meres and mosses landscape of north Shropshire, as well as the varied landscapes of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Opened as a Field Centre in 1957, Preston Montford is visited by students of Biology and Geography, as well as school groups. Specialist interest groups regularly visit the centre. Over the last few years developed partnership work with the University of Birmingham and Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland to tackle the decline in skills of field taxonomy.
