In the search for a worthy patron saint for this church, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, whose name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". However, it was then apparently decided that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors before God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just a single patron saint, but to extend the patronage to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

Excellent stop-off in Newport, good coffee, great cake.

The present Church of St Nicholas is of Norman origin but was lengthened in the 14th century. The Perpendicular style tower was added around 1460 by the Earl of Warwick but he didn't get round to finish the job and top it off with a spire. Being an Earl must be a tad busy I guess!

The largest natural lake in the Midlands, Aqualate Mere is a nature reserve managed by Natural England. Although large, it is very shallow, generally no more than a metre deep. The Mere is an example of an esker system, which is rare in the Midlands, formed by glacial meltwaters during the late Devensian glaciation. Aqualate is a great place to see vast flocks of overwintering wildfowl, as well as being a breeding site for curlew and snipe. The hide offers superb views out across the water.

Smart, dog friendly pub/hotel owned by Joule's Brewery. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Accommodation. Pub/restaurant open daily from 12.

The Shrewsbury and Newport Canals were two different waterways, opened in the late 18th and mid-19th centuries, which both became part of the Shropshire Union in the 1840s. After a railway was opened, which ran parallel to the canal, trade began to decline and the canal was closed in stages during the 20th century. Today it is a peaceful place for recreation, both on and alongside the water.

really cosy place for short ride or walk

Nice cafe bar run by Titanic Brewery, serving good vegan breakfast! Friendly staff, large and modern menu. For a decent meal (rather than cakes and cheese sandwiches) this was the best place I found in Newport and Market Drayton.
