Top of the Wrekin

The rest of those photos as promised.

From the top of the Wrekin over towards the Welsh Hills:









We started back down the western scarp slope (one for experienced walkers)- the end of the foxgloves and there are already rowanberries out!





Wenlock's Wood from on high. You may recall my posting images from the wood a while back?



Summer growth on high growing conifers:



The peak in the distance is the Welsh mountain, Caer Caradoc:





I liked this!



A bird had dropped a hatched egg away from the nest:



And the thistles have flowered:






And the scramble down got us back to the path round the Wrekin which is our way home. A walk of about nine miles all told.

It was so good to be back up there.

It does the heart good both literally and figuratively!

We are just used to it I suppose but it gets so many comments from the other side of the pond! :o)

Beautiful views! Thanks for sharing your walk. I so look forward to visiting someplace with an expansive view again someday.

We had loved Shropshire since forever (I come originally from Kent and my husband is a Scot) when we decided to move up here.

This is a green county all year round but particularly so at present.
