Autumn in North Shropshire

[cmcmck]

We have such a colourful one this year !

Tolkien, who was a local man, called it Laurelindórenan, the land of the valley of singing gold.

We decided to walk some of the Ercall forest.











The view from Black Hayes across the Ercall/Wrekin Valley to the Weald Moors.







And the Wrekin in full Autumn blaze





























And this was the view as we got back to the edge of town!

Love it! Thank you for showing me what it looks like! I am in the middle of rereading Tolkien's The Two Towers.

Tolkien grew up locally and would have known this woodland well.
