Wenlock Edge

Wenlock Edge is a 16-mile limestone escarpment in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It stretches between the towns of Ironbridge and Craven Arms and is the subject of this collection of photographs.

Wenlock Edge boasts panoramic views, remains of ancient quarries and limekilns, fossils, wildlife and rare flowers.

It is famed for its literary connections with A E Housman, author of A Shropshire Lad, and the novelist Mary Webb, whose books include Precious Bane and Gone to Earth.
