Not only is the book topical for 2012 and local, Much Wenlock, it is even printed and published in Shropshire.

How Peggy the Much Wenlock Piglet took part in the Olympian Games

Peggy the piglet has a wonderful time at the Olympic Games in Much Wenlock and even gets to meet the founder of the modern day games

Dr. William Penny Brookes. This delightful book is written by Jocelyn Adams and illustrated by Isobel Bushell.

I can happily recommend this book to anyone with or without children, a super read.

The Ironbridge, Shropshire

Work has just started on a new Park and Ride for Ironbridge and plans to be completed by early June. The site is at Jiggers Bank just 2 miles from The Stanage B & B and will take people right into the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge.

Buses will run every 12 minutes to Ironbridge where you will be able to catch the Gorge Connect service  (runs from April) and get to other locations around The World Heritage Site or just walk and enjoy your time in the beautiful Gorge.

Other buses will run  hourly to Much Wenlock, the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games.

Buses will run from June until October each year.

Much Wenlock is a 15 minute drive from Lawley Village, Telford and there are plenty of other  places where fossils have been found locally.

Happy hunting!

The winner of the BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming award for ‘Best Local Food Retailer’ for 2009 is A.Ryan and Son in Much Wenlock. I am pleased to tell you that all the sausages and bacon used at The Stanage B & B come from that very butcher.

Not only do they supply us with vital breakfast ingredients but we regularly buy their amazingly good ‘venison in red wine pie’. Just see the queue outside each day to discover that people come from far and wide to shop. Best advert you could hope for.

Congratulations to Paddy and his team from all at The Stanage.
