The Shropshire Hills (9th Nov 2009)

They have at least 75% of the grandeur of the Lakes, and about 1% of the visitors.


PS - please don't tell anybody...


I think Shropshire's greatest slice of luck was having Houseman as its chief promoter. Anyone forced to study A Shropshire Lad at school is hardly going to head to Church Stretton for half term.

God forbid that anyone should Wordsworth or Wainwright it.


A Short Walk in the Shropshire Hills
It's hard for me to wax
Poetic on the views,
When I spent the whole six
Hours staring at my shoes.
