A place for Lunch

After the climb up past Ferny Knowl the cooling breeze made the slopes of Ramshaw Rocks the ideal place for lunch, with a view over to Tittesworth Reservoir.

A place for lunch and a cup of tea. Lovely views all round from the lowly Trig Point (77m)

Pool at Kingsbury Water Park

As we sat on a bench for our lunch, the Robin joined us!

Lunch time on the bank of the River Seven looking over to Apley Hall. Over the river and to the right. We could see Apley Terrace near the Trig Point we had visited previously. "The house, occupying a gentle eminence, and thrown into relief by trees which form the background, is a pleasing feature in the landscape as seen from the river or the railway....."The Severn Valley, John Randall, 1882. Apley Hall was built in 1811 and castle features added in Victorian times. It was a private house until 1962 and then a boarding school until 1987 and now refurbished after falling into disrepair.

Lovely spot for lunch in the sun. (1287 views in Panoramio) “St. Giles’s, in the small hamlet of Barrow, is one of Shropshire’s oldest churches, founded on the estates of one of England’s earliest monasteries, Wenlock Abbey (later Priory). Even though it does not occupy the highest point in the parish, it would have been a fair trek uphill for the 8th Century inhabitants of the Abbey who used the building as a small stone oratory, or ‘cell’, for solitary prayer. Over 1200 years of history is packed into the fabric and atmosphere of our church.” www.broseleyparishes.org.uk/churches/st-giles-barrow

Lunch in the sun.

A nice place to have lunch looking down on Bridgnorth. The views along the ridge had been obscured by the summer foliage.

A bench to the right under a tree provided a seat for lunch in the drizzle. The next picture shows some visitors to share our bread. (2033 views in Panoramio)

As it was drizzling we found a bench under a tree to have our lunch. We had had many visitors at lunchtime on our walks, but never a pheasant and his kids. They had a taste for bread and we advised them to stay in the place of sanctuary and never wander too far!

A seat for lunch, but will it rain? See next picture.

Seeking to have our lunch here we found not only that it was not now a Church, but it did not have a bench. We moved to the rear of what was now the Ridware Theatre and the next production would be "The Secret Garden". Sitting on the wall we were accompanied by a donkey in the small field. Leaving the Theatre we joined the Millennium Way to Nethertown.

One of the few Churchyards we visited that did not have a bench to sit on for lunch. Don't know why it Got Grade I ! We sat behind a wall in the shade.
