Former sand and gravel quarry

Extensively quarried landscape south of Bayston Hill. This is now a peaceful spot, with wildflowers and wildlife taking advantage of its quietude.

Bomere Farm

A working farmyard, full of all sorts of farming gear, old and new. The footpath runs through here - today dry, but this would be a mud bath after heavy rain.

Bayston Hill quarry

This is viewing the northern end of the quarry, where a new processing plant and facilities are being built. This quarry is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger!

I'm really not sure they want people accessing the surrounding nature, maybe just 'tolerate' them on the footpath. The signs read: "Strictly no access to Bomere Pool and surrounding woodland." "Please keep to the public footpaths and dogs must be kept on a lead."

Should you dare to try and get a closer look at the lake, you can expect an injury...

Footpath near Bomere Farm

Footpath in fields below Bomere Farm; in the other direction, it heads off towards Betton Farm about a mile away.

East of Shrewsbury

Sharpstone Hill Quarry and Bomere Pool to its right are visible in the low foreground; also New Meadow Stadium to the left. The line of Watling Street [A5], and the railway, can be seen stretching away east from the left, and the River Tern winds its way across the landscape from the left centre, while Cound Brook is just to the right of Bomere Pool, both to join the River Severn in the distance.

Cliff Hollow near Berrington

The local red sandstone much in evidence. This road is very narrow. Moments later a tractor appeared and I had to press myself into the embankment to avoid being harrowed (I may have invented that word).

The one on the left heads north towards Shrewsbury. The one on the right is called Cliff Hollow (SJ5106 : Cliff Hollow near Berrington) and heads east to Berrington.
