Grinshill Hill is another one of these prominent Triassic red sandstone outcrops that occur in North Shropshire/Cheshire plain, which protrude a predominantly open low lying landscape. It's a magnificent viewpoint, and like most of these promontories, are notable for having clusters of Caledonian pine clinging to the rocks amongst other trees, which are probably the vestiges of the great ancient forest that covered the landscape between the end of the glacial period and the farming clearances during the Bronze Age. It's also the home to Ravens which sit in their branches surveying the fileds below and calling, a bird more commonly seen in upland areas.
Thank you for yet another interesting video Richard, Harriet and Lola. The helicopters you mentioned will be from The Defence Helicopter Flying School at RAF Shawbury,
Wow Glad I met you 3 loved this Vlog & last one Still want to know what the Helicopter was after I'm sure it wasnt you two look forward to seeing you more & your Dog looks well lovely all me Best David
Number 10 - interesting fact that Richard. I’ll keep eye next time it’s on the news. But these days to be honest I prefer to be out walking and watching YT vids - than watching the news. ATVB Mark.
I am watching more indie stuff on YT than the TV. I don't have a TV and barely watch the iplayer. Not sure why I pay for the license fee - although I do love Radio 4 - although it is a bit biased.
Richard Vobes Radio 4 yes my channel if choose these days too. First thing my kids do is switch channel when they get in the 🚗. BTW think I might of mentioned; gabe you a shoutout the other week on my Moel Famau Walk. ATVB
if you liked walking around Grinshill / Corbett Wood Nature Reserve old quarry. You would probably like walking around the village of Badger and Badger Dingle in south shropshire. I made a slideshow.
Great. That view was definitely worth the climb. Did the path continue down the hill on the other side? Could you have kept going to go down to the farms and houses?
It was indeed birch (there are two native species in GB) on the left as you passed the oak. It will soon be time to tap the sap for wine if one is so inclined. I probably shouldn't keep commenting part way through the vids in case you clarify things later & make me look like a twit (default setting so no probs),
Oh yes - I know it and we nearly filmed the same day - but yes I will go back. I did filmed there a few years ago here: ruclips.net/video/aKgVtu_LWpg/видео.html
Its ages ago now, but you kind of got lost on the way up. There's a better way which takes you past some amazing mullioned houses built against the rock and takes in the church with interesting memorial stones, then past the school high up on the rock. The path up is cut into the rock. Still you both obviously enjoyed it saw THE VIEW and all ways up are good 😊
I feel gifted and lucky to live in this county of Shropshire! I was born here and have never really left!
What a glorious morning you had for your walk. Looks thoroughly enjoyable!
Jennifer Stewart Yes we had to take advantage of it. Thanks for watching :)

Our country is beautiful!!
It jolly well is. Let's not lose it.

Oh that's what they were up to - I thought I was being tracked! :)
Clearly they were keeping an eye on two suspicious looking characters and their sniffer dog.
They sure were.
Stunning views.
Sid Bonkers Lovely up there!
Fantastic views, great walk - thanks
Thanks very much!

Wow fantastic views.. got to go up there one day. I don't drive so rely on public transport which isn't great in rural areas
Yes, you do need a car to get about in Shropshire. I am back up that way next week!

vintagecreativemedia The path swept round and probably head down towards the village on the other side called Clive.
