Secrets of South Shropshire Part 1

In this video John Challis (Boycie) delves deep into South Shropshire's history and folklore to give a fascinating guide to the area and its most interesting sites. Designed as a circular tour, the viewer is taken on a delightful trip through history in one of the most beautiful corners of England.

I would never have guessed that the narrator was 'Boycie'. A professional actors linguistics skill on display

My main comment is on part 2 but want to say it is so nice to learn about Shropshire where my ancestors came from. I'm in the U.S. and some migrated in the mid 1650's to Virginia.

I really enjoyed this video. I grew up in Shropshire, my soul is eager to return. I learned things about its history that I never knew as you took me on a journey. Thank you so much.

[@royrogers1604]

I was born and live in Ludlow. We’re just above the Teme Valley and just below Haydon’s Bent. We have a view of Mortimer Forrest from the front of our cottage and a view of the Clee hills from the back. You never need to go on holiday when you live in South Shropshire.❤

PS Thank you for your kind compliments. We love our visitors here. I first saw your video a year ago, and finally went to see the stones.

The priory at Bromfield is rumored to have had a secret tunnel which leads to the remains of the moated grange a couple of hundred metres away.

My ancestors lived in Shropshire in a mansion sad my great grandad father died of a chill and the family left to live in surrey

[@royrogers1604]

I grew up in an old stone cottage in Shropshire and can remember the winter of 1963.....one of the hardest and longest on record. Jack Frost would paint crazy patterns on the single glazed windows and your breath would instantly vapourize as you peered over the bed-clothes.

[@NotAppIicabIe]

It's silly but I traced my ancestry to Shropshire and I want to visit someday!

[@royrogers1604]

I live in South Shropshire and feel blessed to be here

[@KatAdVictoriam]

I just traced mine thru my family tree and dna and I've been researching this area and it's history and notable people. It's not silly! :)

Go on then. I live in Ludlow. I might be able to give you some information.
