Benthall Edge in Autumn

Each time we venture out for a walk in this beautiful county of Shropshire there are more hidden gems to find.

Yesterday we walked around Benthall Hall and found this lovely avenue of mature trees to stroll among and savour.

A short drive down to Ironbridge after for coffee then back to The Stanage.

Woodland walk at Attingham Park

The snowdrops are already poking their heads out in our garden at The Stanage and I am sure that once again Attingham Park will be covered in them.

National Trust Snowdrop walks start in February.

Have just reminded myself that the snowdrops will soon be out and I will have to visit Attingham Park again to see this most wonderful sight.

I spent the morning with a friend walking through the beautiful woodland walks at Attingham Park today. A carpet of snowdrops everywhere we looked.

Attingham Park is owned by The National Trust and is a 20 minute drive from The Stanage B & B inTelford.

A visit to the coffee shop for carrot cake is a must before leaving.

A recent visit to Tong Church with a friend found us hunting for the grave of Little Nell and we managed to find it with help from another visitor.

This is as it says on the grave stone the ‘reputed grave’ of the character from Charles Dickens story The Old Curiosity Shop. Dickens is also believed to have visited nearby Shifnal.

The church was open to the public and extremely beautiful, well worth a visit.

We stopped on our way home from visiting the newly opened Granary at Weston Park.

The Granary sells a good range of local produce and is also home to exhibitions in the rooms above.

The carrot cake in the coffee shop was the real reason for the visit.

To get to Weston Park and Tong Church from The Stanage you exit at junction 3 on the M54.
