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!

It does rather look like LotR-Land, doesn't it? I can totally imagine he found it inspiring.

It really does. This border country is such an inspiration (and I'm a poet).
