Farmland near Alveley in Shropshire

Looking west from Romsley Lane. Half the field has been ploughed so far. A bridleway leads down the hill in the line of trees/bushes to the right of the field boundary. The edge of Alveley can be seen in the distance. I had not spotted the bird of prey when taking the picture!

"Down into the Dingle" - Bowhills, Shropshire

The public footpath to Cross Farm enters a long strip of woodland in a steep narrow valley, known as Bowhills Dingle.

"And Across the Rickety Bridge" - Bowhills, Shropshire

Crossing this deeply cut stream valley can be a problem after heavy rain. The public footpath is well marked, but this part tends to be muddy except during dry spells.
