It turns out I've posted the second (Caus Castle) and third (Worthen) videos in this series, but not the first. So here it is.
My serious walking days in the Eighties and Nineties reinforced my scepticism about ley lines: once you've climbed to a ridge you stay up there as long as possible. But this video does explore a fascinating landscape: I remember finding an ancient and overgrown holloway on Stapeley Hill myself.
And if that doesn't convince you, just think of this as Shropshire hill porn.
Can I thank you for this. I used to live in Bewdley and spent a fair amount of time to the west in the Marches, partly tempted by Hay on Wye's books and Ludlow's beauty`. Like you I am sceptical about the whole ley line story but this video is fascinating and the rest of his output looks beyond tempting. Again, my thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. My favourite writer as a child, Malcolm Saville, set some of his best books in the Shropshire hills, so when I visit them it still feels as though I'm taking a holiday in Narnia.
