The plaque commemorates the site of the first Wenlock Games in 1850. William Penny Brookes was born in Much Wenlock and was a doctor here from the mid 1800s. He had the very novel idea, for the time that fresh air and exercise would be good for his patients. To this end, in 1850, he began the “Wenlock Games”. Windmill Hill formed one side of a natural amphitheatre where the majority of the spectators sat to watch the Games. The cost of a seat was a princely one shilling and sixpence.

A nature reserve cared for by Shropshire Wildlife Trust, The Ercall is home to much more than first meets the eye. Ripples visible in the surface of rocks in this fascinating old quarry were carved by ancient seas 500 million years ago when this part of Britain lay 60 degrees south of the equator. Visit in late spring and early summer to hear birdsong echoing from the walls and run on trails edged with bluebells, birdsfoot trefoil and wild orchids. A staggering 821 different invertebrate species were once found here during a single survey.

Rising to 407 metres, The Wrekin is a prominent landmark, its visibility from the M54 signalling the entrance to Shropshire. Unlike some of the local hills, The Wrekin was never a volcano in its own right, despite its conical shape, but is composed of various igneous rocks and volcanic processes. The ridgeline either side of The Wrekin makes for some great running, with fabulous views in every direction.

Absoluty for those who like natural trails
