Walking: Longdon, Staffs

There are a myriad paths, lush fields, big skies, & beautiful views all around this wee Staffordshire village... but don't tell anyone, it's so tranquil, they'd spoil it!







 




The lovely, 850-odd year old church of St James the Great...

Walking: Ironbridge & Coalbrookdale

A couple of days around Ironbridge & Coalbrookdale; a quiet, comfy, campsite with beautiful views (Irongorge Camping) - 15mins from the rather lovely Coalbrookdale Inn, a 20min fieldpath stroll from the town.

 St Lukes church, high on the Lincoln Hill.

One of 2 shots of the bridge... atypical, I think!

 Holy Trinity, Coalbrookdale...













Honestly, you really must visit this campsite, 'tis lovely & laid back in every way!

 The walk from Irongorge to Ironbridge, along green country footpaths, is a joy.








Wonderful buildings all over the place; must get back for a proper gant!


Beautiful countryside & views all around... not too busy away from roads!




A shedload of work ensures good, safe access, & walking all across the area; The Severn Gorge Countryside Trust deserve major plaudits.



  If it's your thing, heritage, history, & museums abound... for me, the Woodside Community Orchard, Coalbrookdale, is one of my favourite things...





 The second shot including the bridge... it's somewhere in there...


 We'll be back... very soon!
