Londonderry Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Shropshire, England. Situated near the village of Londonderry, this coppice is renowned for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Spanning over an area of approximately 100 acres, it serves as a haven for wildlife and a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.

The coppice primarily consists of a mixed woodland, comprising various tree species such as oak, beech, birch, and ash. These trees form a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter for the abundant flora and fauna present in the area. The forest floor is carpeted with ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, creating a vibrant and enchanting atmosphere.

Visitors to Londonderry Coppice can explore the network of well-maintained footpaths and trails that wind their way through the woodland. These trails offer a chance to immerse oneself in the tranquility of nature, while also providing opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife spotting. The coppice is home to numerous bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds.

Historically, Londonderry Coppice has been managed through the traditional practice of coppicing, whereby trees are periodically cut to encourage new growth. This sustainable management method has resulted in a diverse range of habitats within the woodland, supporting a wide variety of wildlife.

Overall, Londonderry Coppice is a natural gem in the heart of Shropshire, offering visitors a chance to connect with nature and experience the beauty of a well-preserved woodland.

Hampton Loade Ferry This environmentally sound ferry uses the natural flow of the river to move itself across the Severn. It is tethered to a pulley block that runs on a cable suspended across the river, just visible in the upper left of the picture.

"Bradley Manor" at Hampton Loade This is my favourite spot for photography on the Severn Valley Railway. Looking down from the station you can see "Railway Cottage" at the bottom of the drive as GWR engine no. 7802 "Bradley Manor" drifts slowly into the station en route from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster.

Buttercross, Alveley The cross is marked faintly on the round stone at the head. Pevsner says it "probably marks the site of an ancient open-air market", but according to the local historical society states that it may be where butter and other commodities were left for the villagers to collect during time of plague.
