National Trust Information Board at Wenlock Edge (2)
Located at the edge of the Wenlock Edge car park off the B4371 Stretton Road TF13 6AS, this information board shows two maps of the Wenlock Edge with two images to the left of the maps. The wording at the top of the information board has the following wording:
Welcome to Wenlock Edge
Wenlock Edge is a rare and special landscape formed 425 million years ago as a coral reef in a shallow sea. It stretches in an unbroken line for 18 miles (30km) between Ironbridge and Craven Arms in Shropshire and it is often described as a great wave about to break. This thickly wooded limestone escarpment offers dramatic vistas from dappled paths, glimpses of its industrial past with historic quarries and limekilns; you'll also discover abundant fossils, rare flowers and lots of wildlife along this special landscape.
To the right of the noticeboard is the following wording:
The Much Wenlock National Trust car park sits in an old quarry called Kiln Leasow field. Within the rock face here you'll see the bedded Wenlock Limestone dipping towards the road where it disappears beneath the softer, overlying Lower Ludlow Shales.
Until the 1840s local farmers quarried and burnt the limestone here to spread on their fields as a soil conditioner. Today the limestone grassland supports a rich variety of flowering plants, including several species of orchid.
