Great Autumn Weekend at Wrekin View, Many Thanks Brain and Josie

We had a marvellous weekend at Brian and Josie’s Wrekin View CL. Wonderfully maintained site just outside the village of Withington. We have a motorhome so once we are parked up we walk everywhere. Wrekin View is ideal, for this. We walked into Withington (5 minutes) to the recently refurbished Hare and Hounds, great real ale and really good service. We were told that they are not yet doing food, but will do as soon as they get the kitchen sorted out. Wrekin View is just off the Shropshire way long distance foot path. So we also made full use of this. There is a footpath next to the site leading up to the Shropshire Way (Brian can direct you). We followed this, over Haughmond Hill, to the ruins of Haughmond Abbey, a very picturesque walk. The abbey is run by English Heritage, but is free to get in. Well worthwhile. You can also follow the Shropshire Way to the Haugmond Arms in the nearby village of Upton Magna. We would also recommend this. Nice food, and great staff. Upton Magna’s claim to fame is having the oldest, still standing and inhabited, cottage in Europe (dating back to 1269). Its located next to the church. Upton Magna is also where the chains for the Menai and Conway suspension bridges were made, although the forge is no longer in existence. Great weekend, many thanks Brain and Josie.
