Much Wenlock is a small town and parish in Shropshire, England, situated on the A458 road between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth. Nearby, to the northeast, is the Ironbridge Gorge, and the new town of Telford.
Much Wenlock was historically the chief town of the ancient borough of Wenlock. The Much was added to the name to distinguish it from the nearby Little Wenlock, and signifies that it is the larger of the two settlements. Notable historic attractions in the town are Wenlock Priory and the Guildhall. The name Wenlock probably comes from the Celtic name Wininicas, meaning white area (in reference to the limestone of Wenlock Edge), plus the Old English loca, meaning enclosed place. The town was recorded in the Domesday Book as Wenloch.
The Wenlock Olympian Games established by Dr William Penny Brookes in 1850 are centred in the town. Dr Brookes is credited as a founding father of the modern Olympic Games, and one of the Olympic mascots for London 2012 was named Wenlock after the town.
Richard Fletcher mentions Much Wenlock as one of the possible locations where a Sub-Roman British Christian community may have survived the Anglo-Saxon occupation and eventually integrated with the conquerors and influenced their culture. The town of Wenlock is known to have grown up around an abbey or monastery founded around 680 by Merewalh, a son of King Penda of Mercia, with the small town within its parish boundaries. King Penda installed his daughter Milburga as abbess in 687. Milburga of Wenlock was credited with many miraculous works.
Much Wenlock has become known as the birthplace of Wenlock Olympian Games set up by Dr William Penny Brookes and his Wenlock Olympian Society (WOS) in 1850. In 1861 he was also instrumental in setting up the Shropshire Games and later in 1866, the National Olympian Games. Dr Brookes is credited as a founding father of the Modern Olympic Games. In 1890 it was the turn of the Raven Hotel to be the venue for the annual post Wenlock Olympian Games' dinner, and Baron Pierre de Coubertin was the guest of honour. Copies of some of the WOS's archive images are on display in the hotel, including letters from Coubertin to Brookes. The Wenlock Olympian Games, a nine-day event staged on eight sites across Shropshire, are still held annually during July, and are still organised by WOS. Much Wenlock's secondary school is named after Dr Brookes.
A borough of Wenlock existed until 1966 which, at its height, was – by area – the largest borough in England outside London and encompassed several of the towns that now constitute Telford. The borough had unusual boundaries, covering Much Wenlock itself, but also Little Wenlock, Broseley and Ironbridge, a total area of 71 square miles (180 km2). In 1966 the core Wenlock parts became part of the Bridgnorth Rural District, with other parts also going to Dawley Urban District and to Wellington Rural District.

Postcard from Much Wenlock
The Postcard from Much Wenlock features Mike Grace, Town Councillor and Chair of the Neighbourhood Planning Group in discussion with a PAE Volunteer. Mike explains how they got started, who's been involved and how the Much Wenlock Neighbourhood Plan is progressing.
From the outset, transparency and community engagement were key, with extra effort made to engage hard-to-reach groups and young people. Translating into action all the ideas generated so far is the current challenge.

Much Wenlock Circular Day Hiking Via Ironbridge, Shropshire, England, UK
Much Wenlock Circular Day Hiking Via Ironbridge, Shropshire, England, UK
Much Wenlock Circular Day Hiking Ironbridge was an 11.5 miles anti-clockwise route which started in the town centre of Much Wenlock. The first leg of the trip was in a north easterly direction, mainly along the Shropshire Way route. We passed the ruins of Wenlock Priory before entering the countryside and passing through the hamlet of Wyke. We then went through Benthall Edge Woods and along Benthall Edge. Next we descended hundreds of wooden steps through the thickly wooded hillside of Ironbridge Gorge with dramatic views of the power station. Finally, we hiked along the disused railway track and crossed the now famous iron bridge into Ironbridge town. After lunch, the second leg from Ironbridge back to Much Wenlock was in an L shaped direction. The first section led us west through the gorge along the River Severn, over Buildwas Bridge, past Buildwas Abbey ruins and later through the woods of Buildwas Park. The second section led us south, mainly along a long and quiet country lane back to Much Wenlock. Although a quiet country lane care should be taken on the lane, especially when approaching bends.
This was a well waymarked route, hiking across fields and also through woodlands and offered a great contrast between scenery views and history. Although not a difficult or very strenuous hike, the length of this route would make it a moderate grade. Note that there were a lot of paths and various waymarked trails within Benthall Woods and this could be confusing. A number of the paths have dead ends and some sections along the edges of disused quarries can be dangerous. Please stick to the route through the woods. Take great care when hiking along Benthall Edge and beware of tree roots so you do not trip over the edge. I also recommend beginners taking their time descending the hundreds of steps down into Ironbrdige Gorge.

Places to see in ( Shropshire - UK )
Shropshire is a county in the West Midlands of England, bordering Powys and Wrexham in Wales to the west and north-west, Cheshire to the north, Staffordshire to the east, Worcestershire to the south-east and Herefordshire to the south. Shropshire Council was created in 2009, a unitary authority taking over from the previous county council and five district councils. The borough of Telford and Wrekin has been a separate unitary authority since 1998 but continues to be included in the ceremonial county.
The county's population and economy is centred on five towns: the county town of Shrewsbury, which is culturally and historically important and close to the centre of the county; Telford, a new town in the east which was constructed around a number of older towns, most notably Wellington, Dawley and Madeley, which is today the most populous; and Oswestry in the north-west, Bridgnorth just to the south of Telford, and Ludlow in the south. The county has many market towns, including Whitchurch in the north, Newport north-east of Telford and Market Drayton in the north-east of the county.
The Ironbridge Gorge area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covering Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale and a part of Madeley. There are other historic industrial sites in the county, such as at Shrewsbury, Broseley, Snailbeach and Highley, as well as the Shropshire Union Canal.
The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers about a quarter of the county, mainly in the south. Shropshire is one of England's most rural and sparsely populated counties, with a population density of 136/km2 (350/sq mi). The Wrekin is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the county, though the highest hills are the Clee Hills, Stiperstones and the Long Mynd. Wenlock Edge is another significant geographical and geological landmark. In the low-lying northwest of the county overlapping the border with Wales is the Fenn's, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve, one of the most important and best preserved bogs in Britain. The River Severn, Great Britain's longest river, runs through the county, exiting into Worcestershire via the Severn Valley. Shropshire is landlocked and with an area of 3,487 square kilometres (1,346 sq mi) is England's largest inland county. The county flower is the round-leaved sundew.
Shropshire is connected to the rest of the United Kingdom via a number of road and rail links. Historically, rivers and later canals in the county were used for transport also, although their use in transport is now significantly reduced. The county's main transport hub is Shrewsbury, through which many significant roads and railways pass and join.
