With the 2008 Olympics just coming to an end, August Bank holiday we found ourselves in the delightful historic market town of Much Wenlock, located in the county of Shropshire in central England, close to the Welsh border.
The town is renowned for the birthplace of the Modern Olympics due to William Penny Brookes. There is an Olympian trail around the town - details in the excellent local museum along with much more information. Apart from the Olympic connections there are beautiful black and white timbered buildings, many cosy inns and tea rooms as well as wonderful ruins of a double monastery within walking distance of the town - so much to do in Much Wenlock. |

I've always been curious about this place because of the name. (Well, not always, but off and on.) It turns out there are seven places called Much Something in the UK, and one just called Much in Germany. | angiebabe Mon Aug 25, 2008 00:07 UTC
