We recently moved to the peak district from London after working there for our adult lives to this point, now 41. London is fine until you want more, at which point you realise its been sold and housing is so cheap up north if you can work out how to pay for it.

Weve been exploring the Peaks every weekend for a year on and off since we moved. But is there a secret drive you take near yours? The UK is so beautiful, but many of its popular spots are played out.

I almost don't want to post this (but hey this is fediverse not a place with 60m subs.) But Shropshire hills is amazing a quiet, it doesn't get the masses like Brecon beacons, peak District, lakes or Snowdonia.

We we found it almost by accident as just found some cheap accomodation in Midlands

But the area church stretton, craven arms and to the west to lydham, up to stipperstones then over long mynd to carding mill valley (very steep drops off the mynd and one lane so not for faint hearted.)
