Apley Woods – Telford.

Sunday 10th November 2024.

Yesterday Michelle received a message from our youngest daughter Steph inviting us to join in on a family walk around Apley Woods near Telford. Sounded a great idea, we’d never been there before so today we all met up at 10.30am on a pleasant sunny autumn day.

It would have been interesting to have seen the original building or it’s footings after it had been demolished but sadly there wasn’t anything to see.

We were showered with Autumn leaves as we walked and grand son James told us they had to be brown or orange, not bad knowledge for a 3 year old.

Ben examining a carving of a leaf and exploring a muddy puddle watched by Layla.

As we walked along we came across this message board with a sad message .

This carved tree trunk became an enjoyable resting spot and a place for James to climb.

It was also a good spot for a family photo taken by Will. Both Layla and Pippin managed to get in the photo.

The area of the woods isn’t huge but the paths wound round through woodland, around the lake and across a grassy meadow along with a picnic stop for the boys we were there for a few hours.
