Pedwardine Wood A distant view of the steep side of Pedwardine Wood. When I mapped some of it in the 1980's the steep facing slope was covered in mature Douglas Firs. They were cut down, and the new generation is growing fast. Part of the Brampton Bryan Estate and frequently used for orienteering. 
Taken from near Folly Farm over the border.

Shrewsbury to Swansea railway near Bucknell Taken from the minor road on the Shropshire side of the Teme, the railway here was once double track. The railway is an amazing survivor, not only of Beeching, but of repeated attempts to close it during the 1980's and since.
