Clouds of white along path of old railway line
A favourite walk at in spring is through the wild garlic that carpets the route of the old railway line at Much Wenlock.

Remains of the track can still be seen along the Farley Valley and Wenlock Edge, while the embankments are now wooded and rich in wildflowers, birds and small mammals.
This was part of a branch line that once connected Wellington with Craven Arms.
The original route was to have been along the bottom of Wenlock Edge, but local opposition forced it to the south.
The last passenger train pulled out of Much Wenlock station in 1962, and today the woodland echoes to the sound of birdsong rather than steam engines.
