Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Church Stretton

"Straddling the Barbourne Brook, which feeds the River Severn on the parks western cusp, Gheluvelt Park is a memorial park in honour of Worcester’s First World War dead. The name comes from the Battle of Gheluvelt in 1914, in which the Worcestershire Regiment’s 2nd Battalion was deployed. On the duck pond, surrounded by willows and firs is the bandstand, which has concerts on Sunday afternoons from May to August."

"Telford Town Park is a local nature reserve nestled in the heart of Telford. There’s a tremendous variety of activities on offer when visiting the park. Set off on a journey throughout the park woodland from the treetops on the Sky Reach high ropes course or brave the Climbing Wall and Quick Jump."

"A creative hub slap bang in the middle of Wolverhampton, the Newhampton Arts Centre (or the NAC as it’s more widely known), is a haven for artistic endeavours. Home to over 30 creatives, including musicians, actors and artists, home-grown events are hosted here throughout the year. With a fully fledged theatre, music studio and gallery space, there’s no shortage of local talent to discover in the centre."

"The oldest quarter of the city encircled by the Severn, is an absolute delight. Shrewsbury has an amazing 660 listed buildings, a large proportion of which are black and white, half-timbered houses raised when the wool trade was blossoming in Tudor times. Also from that period are Shrewsbury’s “Shuts”, cosy passageways with evocative names like “Gullet Passage”, Grope Lane” and “Peacock Passage”."

"Near the Ironbridge Gorge, Benthall Hall is a Tudor country house still occupied by the Benthall Family but owned by the National Trust. The hall, with fine mullioned windows, turreted chimney stacks and triangular gables, was completed around 1580, while the oak-lined interiors, plaster ceilings and fine staircase are unchanged since the 17th century. One Victoria resident, George Maw, developed the garden and descendants of his crocus collection, assembled around the world, are still in bloom every spring and autumn in the gardens."
