Speedwell Castle is a mid-18th-century house at the centre of Brewood, in Staffordshire, England. Nikolaus Pevsner described it as a "peach" and a "delectable folly", and it stands beside the village market place, at the head of a T-junction on Bargate Street, facing onto Stafford Street. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedwell_Castle

Thomas Telford’s exquisite Stretton aqueduct, built in 1832 with a cast iron trough and blue-brick abutments.

Belvide Reservoir is a man-made lake built in the 1830s as the principle water source for the Shropshire Union Canal. It is now a nature reserve and an SSSI operated by the West Midland Bird Club. There is no public access to the bird hide or access paths, but the reservoir can easily be seen from the lane - a good spot to get the binoculars or long lens out, there are plenty of birds on there.

The Avenue bridge was built around 1830 and features a single arch with an attractive and ornate sweeping balustraded parapet. More ornamental than most bridges on the "Shroppie", this bridge carried a drive for carriages on one of the main approaches to Chillington Hall.

This mile-long avenue of oak trees is the eastern approach to the privately owned Chillington Hall. The trees were originally planted by Peter Giffard sometime around 1725, though some of the trees would have been pre-existing. At the end of the avenue, you can make out Chillington Hall, a Georgian manor house that is home to the Giffard family.
