tannwick@picturetheuk Will retweet for others, but I would go for the Stiperstones – then over to the Long Mynd. Ellesemere good also….
tannwick@picturetheuk ….Titterstone Clee near Ludlow also has some good areas – quite industrial, as is Snailbeach lead mine.
HoptonHouseBnB@tannwick @picturetheuk Excuse the interrupt Clun Valley, Clee & Ludlow from Whitcliffe Common, Hopton Castle, Clun Castle
HoptonHouseBnB@tannwick Actually the last time I couldn’t stop wowing was when we drove up to Springhill Farm on Offas Dyke past Clun
HoptonHouseBnB@tannwick Have to say that driving to & from Ludlow this evening was absolutely breathtaking. Clee on the way there & on the way back…
tannwick@picturetheuk Moreton Corbett Castle outside Shawbury is good also (have to give my local fave?) together with Grinshill & The Wrekin
tannwickRT @picturetheuk @cameraboy56: @tannwick Try the Ironbridge area some good shots to be had around there..< Very true!

nick_space@picturetheuk The view from Llanymynech Head over the whole of the north Shropshire Plain is quite a sight on a good day.
nick_space@picturetheuk Original Oswestry School from 1407 is now a heritage centre. Cant remember if timber building there is 1407 or slightly later
nick_space@picturetheuk The lake at Ellesmere is worth a look, too.
nick_space@picturetheuk Bellan Bank south of the village of Kinnerley is probably an old Norman “castle”. Uninspiring to look at but historical.
nick_space@picturetheuk On opposite side of road from Bellan Bank you will see a bunker used to store ammunition in WWII. There are LOTS of these near
nick_space@picturetheuk From war of old to war of new inside a 180 deg panorama.
nick_space@picturetheuk The WWII bunkers were connected by a now lost railway system to Shrewsbury and the south.
tannwick@picturetheuk Ironbridge & Museums, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Long Mynd, Hawkstone Follies for starters?
WhiteHorseClun@picturetheuk South Shropshire especially beautiful little towns like Clun bishops Castle, breath taking scenery Long Mynd , Stiperstones.
