ビクトンのおすすめツーリングルート

Worth a visit this time of year as it’s nice and warm with good beer, coffee & food open every lunch time 🥲

You certainly don't see many black and white timber-framed churches around and this is a remarkable example in a picturesque setting. One of just 27 such churches in England, St Peter's stands on the banks of the River Vyrnwy in Melverley and is the oldest. Built at the beginning of the 15th century, it replaced an earlier church that burnt down.

There have been several churches built on this site. The church was first founded in around 1155 but fell into disrepair and the present building was built in 1856. Not the oldest of churches by any means but still a very nice modest replacement for the godly flock of Uffington.

Hi Kit, Visited this church on your recommendation, beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for creating the point of interest. It's actually on the River Vrynwy which joins the River Severn not far away just above Crew Green Bridge. Happy cycling!

Great pub for real ale. Try the Shropshire Gold

Shrewsbury weir was constructed in 1909. Its function is to keep the water level around the loop of the River Severn that encloses the town centre at a nominal height for pleasure boating and the rowers at Shrewsbury School. It also makes an attractive feature for those out on foot alongside the river. The Weir Cafe, just next to the weir, is open daily.

Shrawardine (pronounced Shray-den) is a small village that's well worth a visit to see its interesting church and castle. The castle was built by Henry 1st and known as Castle Isabella by the Anglo-Normans. The church - St Mary's - is a Grade II listed building, mostly 17th century, but with parts dating back to the 13th century.

Shropshire's lost waterways were once a hub of industry, transporting coal from Telford to Shrewsbury in the 18th century, and iron ore and limestone during the 19th century. Several feats of engineering grace the now peaceful canals, including the Trench Incline, which raised boats by some 75ft and continued working until 1921; Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct; Berwick Tunnel - the first tunnel of a significant length which had a towpath through it - and eleven guillotine-gated locks, two of which can still be seen at Hadley Park, Telford. Today, the fine gravel of the towpaths, leisure and liveaboard boats and abundance of wildlife offers a perfect playground for cyclists, walkers and runners.
