Little Wenlock...
We had a lovely walk from The Stanage this morning to Little Wenlock. The walk is just under 2 miles in each direction and on a mild New Years Day it was just the job.
It was good to be able to walk and not slide along the lanes as we had been doing recently. Still a few piles of snow on the roadside...
Christmas Day along the Shropshire Union...
WINTER WONDERLAND IN MARKET DRAYTON
Christmas Day and we decided to stay on flat ground with all the snow in Shropshire. A beautiful sunny day so we drove from The Stanage in Telford to Market Drayton and had an enchanting, and very cold walk along the Shropshire Union canal.
It was lovely to see so...
Benthall Edge...
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.

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.

Wenlock Priory...

Benthall Hall, Broseley...
We found this lovely National Trust property on a windy afternoon in December. Although it was closed to the public it was a still worth the short drive from The Stanage to walk along the footpath in front and photograph the house and gardens.
