River Vyrnwy
The River Vyrnwy is a river which flows through northern Powys, Wales, and Shropshire, England. The river used to be sourced from the many rivers and streams running off the mountains surrounding the Vyrnwy valley. However, since the Lake Vyrnwy dam was built in the 1880s, the river has flowed directly from the base of the dam. The river runs for 39.7 miles, and the last 8 miles form part of the Welsh/English border between Powys and Shropshire.
Loton Park Hill Climb
Loton Park Hill Climb is a hillclimb held in part of the Loton Park deer park in Shropshire, England. The track was originally constructed by the members of The Severn Valley Motor Club based in Shrewsbury, in the mid-1950s. The first ever winner was Peter Foulkes in a Cooper Climax.

Wollaston, Shropshire
Wollaston is a small village in Shropshire, England, only a quarter of a mile from the Welsh border. It also was a civil parish, until 2005 when it was abolished and absorbed into the two neighbouring parishes: Alberbury with Cardeston and Westbury. It is believed that Old Tom Parr was born in, or near, to the village. There is a beacon here, by the church, that is to be lit in case of an invasion from Wales.
Wattlesborough Castle
Wattlesborough Castle is a ruined fortified 13th century manor house in Shropshire. Based in the parish of Alberbury with Cardeston, near the village of Halfway House on the Shrewsbury to Welshpool road, the castle was probably built in the late 13th century for Sir Richard Corbet. It comprised a square two storey tower surrounded by a moated enclosure with a fishpond. It was bought by the Leighton family circa 1501 and used as their chief residence until circa 1711.
