Barewirewalker what was the interesting reason you found.
I think I found it yesterday, walking on the Long Mountain, about 10 miles south west of Shrewsbury. It has no particular summit and is a ridge that extends for 7 miles or so and forms the east side of the valley of the River Severn, where it passes Welshpool.
I once walked the along its length as part of a Shrewsbury to the Welsh coast route, but have done many circular walks in that area.
Yesterday we targeted three dingles as the objectives for the walk, expecting to find a good showing of spring flowers, wood anemones carpeting the woodland floor and primroses cloaking the banks of the of the streams. But what really struck me was the extent of the bluebells still to come. They are going to be as good a showing as anywhere in the country, because of the picturesque settings these dingles provide.
Trouble is most of the rights of way cut across the dingles, not allowing a walk into the full impact of the natural beauty.
I think this deserves a bit more exploration, in all the Long Mountain is fairly well provided for by Rights of way but do these allow it to become the stunning attraction it could be? Field margins allow view points to peer down into the dingles, which have surprisingly steep sides for a so well rounded a hill.
As matter of interest, yesterday, Mrs BWW and I stopped to talk to a farmer, a proper farmer not a landowner, he pays rent and makes very little income. By the time we parted he agreed with me that the CLA will ruin the good name of the British Farmer in the next decade or so. We chewed the fat for 1hr 20mins and talked of everything from slug damage on a field scale to the finer points of Shire horses. So as long as I can remember who his friends are I have a passport to wander freely.
