Audlem is a stunning little town with a striking church and high street. Nice to see a place decked out with Union Flags.

nice and flat, low traffic

Worth a stop and have a wonder around. plenty to see. 10-15 minutes is enough.

Well worth a visit, the village also boasts the highest village pub in Britain, the New Inn, and it's all beautiful on a good weather day

Fantastic views from up here over big skies and a rugged landscape. Well worth the effort on a sunny day.👌

Audlem is an attractive place--beware of the traffic if you are on bike though!

Great views, steady climb & fast descent's, what's not to love?

Croxden Abbey, also known as "Abbey of the Vale of St. Mary at Croxden", was a Cistercian abbey. A daughter house of the abbey in Aunay-sur-Odon, Normandy, the abbey was founded by Bertram III de Verdun of Alton Castle, Staffordshire, in the 12th century. The abbey was dissolved in 1538. In 1176, Bertram III de Verdun, the lord of the manor of Croxden, endowed a site for a new abbey near Alton, Staffordshire, to a group of 12 Cistercian monks from Aunay-sur-Odon, Normandy. Bertram founded the abbey, like many noblemen of his time, for the souls of his family. The monks remained at the Alton site until 1179, before moving to land near Croxden, a few miles south. Croxden was relatively prosperous, drawing the majority of its wealth from sheep farming. By 1315, the monks were supplying more wool to the continent than any other religious house in the county, with transactions being recorded with Florentine merchants well into the 1420s.
