Our Trip to the Welsh Marches

We recently enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Welsh Marches, staying with friend Avril and Ian in their lovely "Barn" in the historic village of Richards Castle that bridges the English counties of Shropshire and Herefordshire. The trip was in part to step back into our past and enjoy the English, and Welsh countryside and to enjoy the tranquility of the region that has yet to be overrun by tourism. We have broken our experience into multiple posts that you may find easier to drop into depending on what interests you. We would love your feedback and questions.
