The Marches
(2015/12/31 14:46:00)
We ended up staying around the Marches (English/Welsh border lands) between Christmas and New Year.
Each town has a unique feel. Ludlow is very Norman influenced town. Shrewsbury a medieval feel. Bishops Castle , is just unique.
I find it quite fun to just walk around
town.
The museum is well worth a visit. It has a pretty rich local cultural history from stone age, roman,
viking, norman and Darwin of course (his home town).
Across form the Abbey is an old
hospital.
The Abbey was on our visit list, but it
closed just before we got there.
So we wandered back to the Railway
station.
Swans enjoying the running high river
Severn.
Most days I went for stroll out in the
English country side. I do miss it.
I took Heidi and Matheo on a walk up to
Flounders Folly . Some quite nice views from up there.
Would have been fun to go up it. The air
was clear between the rain showers.
Lots of pretty walks around Wenlock edge
area, but you need wellies for all of them this time of year. A good topographical map is essential too, easily found in the U.K. though.
Another day we headed out west by Clun
castle. I jumped out and ran round in the rain. This was the day of prelonged heavy rain. It did flood around a bit but nothing like it did up in
Yorkshire.
When we arrived in Bishops Castle rain water was fountaining out of the drains about 2 feet!
After a short while, having taken shelter
in the Three Tons Brewery the rain stopped and we continued our tour down to
the Six Bells Brewery .
