Wenlock Quarry near Much Wenlock


Much Wenlock - A medieval "black and white" English town that is a bit off the beaten track, but seriously worth a visit! Do you want to learn about the place that inspired the modern Olympic Games or perhaps remember or experience what England was like 50 years ago? Then travel to the beautiful Shropshire town of Much Wenlock, sit on a bench in the Square by the Jubilee clock and watch life go by. It won't be long before the person sitting next to you is willing to talk of the old times and will be just as interested in you as you are in the town. With a population of around 3,000 it feels much more like a village than a town.
