Wild garlic along the old railway line at Much Wenlock, Shropshire.

One of my favourite woodland walks at this time of year is through the clouds of wild garlic that carpet 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, part of a branch line that once connected Wellington with Craven Arms. 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.
