Wenlock Edge

Of course we couldn't visit Much Wenlock without taking a walk along the famous Wenlock Edge. From Much Wenlock we took the B4371 towards Church Stretton and stopped at Presthope. We followed the waymarked trail down from the car park and along through the woods, before turning uphill to join the path along the top of the ridge.

This goes along the top of a large quarry and the views are mostly to the south east. The quarry is still operational and there are signs warning to watch out for blasting...

...but there was none while we were there. But what is it that Little Miss has found here?

There were lots of little wild strawberries for the picking.

Yummy. Eventually we got to a place with the view we were looking for...

...across Hope Dale to the Long Mynd. Can you guess where we wanted to go next?
