The Church of the Holy Innocents, Tuckhill, Shropshire A fine church in a spectacular location, surrounded by mixed very mature woodland, some of the trees being centuries old. Maybe the disused quarry less than 80 metres away supplied some of the stone used.

Extensive grazing land dips away to the left. A public footpath is just visible, crossing the boundary to the right of the five bar gate.
