In Shrewsbury ..A great little boat trip on the River Severn with an informative commentary about Shrewsbury. It starts at Victoria Quay and takes you on a trip around the perimeter of the Quarry Park and down almost as far as The English Bridge.

About 6 miles from us another favourite local walk is The Lawley. It's only a hill but as you walk along the ridge it feels like you are on a mountain.... great views and fresh air !!!

Sorry photos have disappeared. Not t far from Ludlow on the A4117 going East is The Clee Hill. The views from the top are amazing!! To get to the Clee hill there is a left turn which is a bit hidden you need to watch out for at Angel bank. If you get to the village of Clee hill you have gone too far.
