Mere to Canal

winter aconites

Snowdrops lining steps to Plantation
For a wonderful short walk, try a circular one from Castlefields car park, up the steps and directly across Sandy Lane into The Plantation (Shropshire Wildlfe Trust), follow through, along the boardwalk and turn right when you reach the canal. Follow the canal, across the brige at The Wharf and into town, then follow signposts back to The Mere/The Boathouse.
Two days ago I saw these marvelous small bright yellow flowers, which really cheered my day. I'm told they are winter aconites (did I spell that correctly?) Together with the snowdrops, it shows that spring is on its way!!! Hurrah!
