Somewhere I would love to visit!
Good shots
Cheers, Pleb - it's well worth going. Beautiful place & tons of walking routes!
Looks like a lovely place adalard
I don't like the look of your lunch though in your fourth pic
Thanks, Beefy. Shame you didn't like my food - I thought it was Masterchef-worthy serving it on a tree trunk like that...
Very nice photos. All I remember that day was it was very sunny and that some sheep were downright brazen! As I sat and ate a sandwich one of them snatched it from my hand and ran off!
Thanks, Gunwharfman.
We have a few sheep like that here in the Peak District too...
Great Photos, welcome to Shropshire, I pretty sure I know were you took that photo of the fungi, near the top of Ashes hollow batch at the base of a Rowan tree growing close to the stream. I think it is a boletus, if I remember right.
Cheers, BWW.
Yes, you're exactly right about the location of the fungus - I'm not well up enough on the subject to identify them myself though, so I'll go with your identification.
Thanks for the tips about walking around there, very handy as we'll be returning regularly I think. We did see a few people walking above us on the spurs. We did Caer Caradoc after this walk and then next day we walked the Stiperstones ridge. Ragleth and Hope Bowdler Hill are both on our to-do list for when we return.
Interesting - "batches", is that a local name for what we call "cloughs" further north?
Lovely photos, don't know the area at all.
Cheers, Ridge.
What a lovely place, great pics and write up on your blog We do have fab countryside in this country don't we?
I went on a canal holiday as a teenager in Shropshire but I can't remember the scenery that much except a viaduct that crossed the border into Wales. Shropshire and The Long Mynd is added to the list of places I would like to walk, thanks Adalard
Thanks, April.
We sure do - we were blown away by the scenery.
I'm sure you guys would enjoy it around there.
Great photos and TR adalard It looks a wonderful area for walking, with the lovely scenery of hills enfolding the valleys. I've never been to Shropshire but I find its geology very interesting.
Thanks, Dovegirl.
Yes, I was reading up on the geology - fascinating that the Long Mynd was a sea bed and that Caer Caradoc was formed from volcanoes on the coastline. Brilliant stuff! I'm writing up the Caer Caradoc walk next.
