Walking The Inn Way to the Yorkshire Dales.
Day four - Reeth to Aysgarth Falls via Grinton, Greets Hill, Apedale and Bolton Castle.
Such variety and contrast across three dales - Swaledale, Apedale and Wensleydale.

Walk with me - this is Wenlock Edge at sunrise, with a layer of mist lying above Apedale. I listened to the birdsong as I gazed across to the distant Stretton Hills and Wrekin, and was able to pick out the calls of a goldcrest, a chiffchaff and a song thrush. #Shropshire 1/2

It looks like a watercolour painting, but this is Apedale at sunrise. Waves of mist roll across the #Shropshire landscape, with the Wrekin seen in the distance. I was standing on Wenlock Edge for this shot, not far from the village of Rushbury. My alarm had gone off at 3am and as I headed out 1/3

A long day spent photographing snowy south #Shropshire ended at the village of Rushbury, beneath Wenlock Edge. This spot is in Apedale, known as the valley of the bees. The name comes from apis - Latin for bee - and refers to the monks of Wenlock Abbey who were noted beekeepers in the 13th century.

An unspectacular but nonetheless, jolly little stubby fingerpost for this Friday, pointing the public way from the top of Bignall Hill towards Apedale Country Park near Newcastle-u-Lyme in Staffordshire.

Breakfast this morning at Apedale. Sun was shining and the birds were flitting about on the feeders. Spring was definitely in the air. #Apedale #Saturdaybreakfast #staffordshireoatcakes

After my cancelled walk I visited Apedale Heritage Centre which houses a coal mining museum.
Interesting. Very different from the national coal mining museum near us.
Bonus: they have a little steam train 😁

Lovely when it's like this. I shall go and top up the bird-feeders and water and put some mealworms on the ground.

On Shropshire Day may I offer you a blustery view of Apedale from Wenlock Edge? Apedale was so named after the many apiaries it used to host.
This spring, let's hope bees still fly across these lovely fields, gently pollinating the cherry trees, and gentling the world.

Last weekend The Ivy, this weekend Apedale ... that's how I rumble 😂😂 #Apedale #Saturdaybreakfast

2/10 What a morning - I stood on Caer Caradoc, near Church Stretton, in March and watched as a sea of mist swirled across Apedale and the lower slopes of Willstone Hill. In the distance is Wenlock Edge, which runs for 18 miles from Craven Arms to Ironbridge. Ethereal #Shropshire!
