Free Range Poultry, near Claverley, Shropshire The hens have the choice of open sunny areas, or two areas of woodland for shade - or they can stay inside.

A well sited Seat, near Galatea Farm, Shropshire The public footpath leads south to Claverley (1.5 km) through fields. The panoramic view from the seat westwards to Claverley Brook and Hopstone is very "soothing".

Footpath through Cropfields, near Ludstone, Shropshire The public footpath approaching Galatea farm (visible) leads along the left side of the hedge in the centre. Cereal crops grow on both sides, and the chicken farm is 500 metres behind the camera.

Chapel conversion at Hillend, Ludstone Originally a small chapel, and shown on late 19th century maps as 'Congl Chapel' (Congregational). There was also a Sunday School on the other side of the road at that time. The building is now converted to residential use.

Riding on Abbot's Castle Hill Strictly speaking, it's a footpath, but since it appears to follow the line of a Roman Road, we reckoned it's been unfairly downgraded. That makes it fair game for a bit of trail poaching, as it runs along the ridge to the west of open farmland.
