Way to Ludlow - Craven Arms, Shropshire
A view southwards on the A49 Shrewsbury - Ludlow road at Craven Arms. To the right, just out of the photo, is the Harry Tuffins supermarket with a wide range of goods and to the left ahead is the junction with the B4368 Corvedale Road leading towards Bridgnorth via Diddlebury (Delbury), Aston Munslow (White House - Landmark Trust) Aston Eyre (church and hall) and Morville (Morville Hall - National Trust). The town was originally the site of two hamlets, Newington and Newton, when the 19th century brought the arrival of a railway junction and growth to the place, the town taking its name from the 17th century Craven Arms Inn. Now a centre for shopping and tourism the town was once noted for its sheep sales. Here are the Secret Hills Discovery Centre, the Land of Lost Content museum - I found it a little melancholic - and not far away to the south stands Stokesay Castle, an English Heritage property. Time taken 9.45 am BST (British Summer Time).
