Wenlock Priory, Shropshire added to English Heritage in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 04/02/2026

Hidden in the Shropshire countryside, the ruins of Wenlock Priory tell a remarkable story of faith, wealth, controversy, and survival.

Founded in the early medieval period and later refounded as a powerful Cluniac monastery after the Norman Conquest, Wenlock Priory became one of the wealthiest religious houses in the region. For centuries, monks lived, worked, and worshipped here — managing vast lands across Shropshire and beyond.

That long history came to a dramatic end in 1540, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. The priory was stripped, abandoned, and gradually fell into ruin — its stone reused throughout the surrounding town.

Today, the remains of Wenlock Priory are managed and preserved by English Heritage, allowing visitors to explore one of England’s most atmospheric monastic sites. Part of the former priory complex also survives as Wenlock Abbey, a private residence which has been home since the 1980s to the actress Gabrielle Drake, known for her roles in 1960s television including the science-fiction series UFO.

I parked for free at the top of the road simply named 'Bull Ring' just off Much Wenlock's main street, but English Heritage have a paid carpark adjacent to the entrance to the priory just a short walk further on.

The town itself is a pleasure to stroll around and has many places to eat and of course toilets are readily available too.

As the priory is managed by English Heritage it's best to be discreet, whilst filming. I used a TOAL point just off 'Bull Ring' road next to their carpark as it was a public path and gives you a certain amount of privacy, whilst maintaining a modest amount of VLOS!

Beck Hole, Scarborough (By D0c.Col)

Beck Hole is a tiny, picturesque hamlet nestled in a steep wooded valley within the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England. Renowned for its tranquil atmosphere, it is famous for the Birch Hall Inn (purportedly one of the smallest pubs in Britain) and its proximity to the beautiful Thomason Foss waterfall.

We stayed in Ivy Cottage, a beautifully restored and modernised cottage that sits right on the edge of the NYMRL nad well within walking distance of the pub!

It's pretty much isolated in its immediate vacinity and has beautiful sweeping views of the countryside and moorland beyond.

Waterfall Walks: Take the 2.8-mile Mallyan Spout and Goathland Walk, which passes scenic woodlands, West Beck, and the hidden Thomason Foss.Railway

History: Explore the remnants of the historic 19th-century Beckhole Incline, an engineering feat formerly used to haul carriages up steep slopes before the current North Yorkshire Moors Railway alignment was established.

Not much in the way of amenities locally so best take a comfort break before you go!

Cwm-yr-Eglwys, Pembrokeshire (By gasbag43)

Cwm-yr-Eglwys, or "Valley of the Church," is a stunning, secluded bay nestled on the northern coast of the Pembrokeshire Peninsula. Its sheltered, crystalline waters and small, sand-and-shingle beach are surrounded by lush coastal greenery and dramatic cliffs that define this rugged stretch of Welsh coastline.

Dominating the landscape are the evocative ruins of St. Brynach’s Church, standing as a silent sentinel against the backdrop of the bay. Once a medieval parish church, its history is deeply intertwined with the restless power of the sea. For centuries, the building served its local community but it eventually met its match in the violent storms of the mid-19th century.

The most devastating blow came during the "Great Charter Storm" of October 1859—the same tempest that infamously wrecked the Royal Charter off the coast of Anglesey. The ferocious seas at Cwm-yr-Eglwys breached the church walls, flooded the nave, and irreparably damaged the structure. Following the disaster, the church was eventually declared unsafe and largely demolished, leaving only the western gable standing as a haunting landmark.

Standing in the peaceful graveyard, surrounded by ancient headstones, you can look out across the gentle, sparkling waters of the bay and find it difficult to imagine the destructive power that once surged through this very spot.

Llawhaden Castle, Pembrokeshire (By gasbag43)

Perched high above the Eastern Cleddau river in Pembrokeshire, Wales, the striking ruins of Llawhaden Castle offer a fascinating glimpse into medieval history. Unlike typical military strongholds built by marching barons, Llawhaden was established as a fortified palace by the powerful Bishops of St Davids.

First founded as an earthwork castle in the early 12th century, it was later transformed into a grand, luxurious stone residence by Bishop Adam de Houghton between 1362 and 1389.

The bird’s-eye view looking directly down onto the castle reveals its rounded, polygonal layout, the open central courtyard, and the surrounding green moat and earthworks that originally protected the bishop's estate.

The elevated, sweeping shot showcasing the castle gatehouse and its dramatic backdrop frames the stone ruins against the lush, rolling hills of the Welsh countryside. It highlights how the site commanded views over the surrounding landscape while a closer, eye-level drone perspective focuses on the imposing, twin-towered gatehouse.

Today, Llawhaden Castle stands as a peaceful, managed ruin under the care of Cadw

Cowden Beach, East Riding of Yorkshire (By milkmanchris)

Cowden Beach on the East Yorkshire coast is one of the fastest-eroding shorelines in Europe, receding at an average rate of 2.5 to 5 metres per year. This rapid retreat of the soft boulder-clay cliffs exposes hundreds of thousands of live unexploded bombs and bullets from the former RAF Cowden bombing range

Parking on Eelmere Road then walk upto the cliff edge or take a left or right on the cliff paths (on foot, no vehicle access)

Access to the beach is not easy, but there are several very steep paths that have been worn by the fisherman who use the beach.
