This is one of our favourite village walks. The natural heritage of the site includes an extensive area of lowland heath and mixed woodland with an unusually wide variety of conifer trees. The variety of habitats including ponds and steep cliffs gives rise to a wide variety of wildlife, particularly birds and insects. From the top there are expansive views over the Shropshire countryside and Welsh hills.

St Andrew is remarkable for having a tower that is detached from the rest of the church. The two sit together on a mound above the road. The south side of the graveyard has been largely cleared of headstones, but there are some fine 18th and 18th century ones that line the path. The round tower is doubly attractive; not only is it free standing, but it is topped by a little 18th century conical cap with tiny gables and a spike.

This photo was taken on a very cold but still morning on the first day of Advent. The bridge in the background is the main crossing point for this fjord.

The thin ice forming in the harbour seemed to be forming plates with melted sections in between. The colours come from the sky and the reflections of the nearby Hummeren Hotel.
