On Monday 7th June we moved north to the Lower Hill Campsite situated next to the National Trust’s Wenlock Edge. En-route we stopped at Benthall Hall, an unusual NT property with different parts of the house reflecting it’s 500 year history – some rooms containing items from the medieval period, the industrial revolution and even the 50’s. The following day we drove into Shrewsbury an attractive old market town almost entirely surrounded by the River Severn.

On the 3rd June we set off on a week long two stop trip – initially returning to the superb Lakeside Meadow CL near Ashbourne where we met up with Ali and Alan. This time we (well – Alan) even managed to get the firepit started! The wildlife was, as always, very impressive – we had 2 hares running across the grass very close to the van. We visited the attractive village of Tissington and the following day ventured out to Carsington Water stopping at Black Rocks – both locations well worth a visit.
