Dudley is a large market town and administrative centre in the county of West Midlands, England, 6 miles (9.7 km) south-east of Wolverhampton and 10.5 miles (16.9 km) north-west of Birmingham. Historically an exclave of Worcestershire, the town is the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley and in 2011 had a population of 79,379. The Metropolitan Borough, which includes the towns of Stourbridge and Halesowen, had a population of 312,900. Dudley is the capital of the Black Country.^[2][3][4]

Originally a market town, Dudley was one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution and grew into an industrial centre in the 19th century with its iron, coal, and limestone industries before their decline and the relocation of its commercial centre to the nearby Merry Hill Shopping Centre in the 1980s. Tourist attractions include Dudley Zoo and Castle, the 12th century priory ruins, and the Black Country Living Museum.

Stourbridge /ˈstaʊərbrɪdʒ/ is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley in the West Midlands, England, situated on the River Stour. Historically in Worcestershire, it was the centre of British glass making during the Industrial Revolution. The 2011 UK census recorded the town's population as 63,298.^[1] Stourbridge is about 12 miles (19 kilometres) west of Birmingham. Sitting within the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley at the southwestern edge of the Black Country and West Midlands conurbation, Stourbridge includes the suburbs of Amblecote, Lye, Norton, Oldswinford, Pedmore,Stambermill, Stourton, Wollaston, Wollescote and Wordsley.

Much of Stourbridge consists of residential streets interspersed with green spaces. Mary Stevens Park, opened in 1931, has a lake, a bandstand, a cafe, and a mixture of open spaces and woodland.

Bordered by green belt land, Stourbridge is close to countryside with the Clent Hills to the south and southwest Staffordshire and Kinver Edge to the west.

Stourbridge was listed in the 1255 Worcestershire assize roll as Sturbrug or Sturesbridge.^[2] The medieval township was named for a bridge which crossed the River Stour. It lay within the manor of Swynford or Suineford (now Old Swinford), which appears in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book of 1086.^[3]

In 1966, the Stourbridge border between Worcestershire and Staffordshire, which for centuries had been marked by the River Stour, was moved a couple of miles north when Amblecote was incorporated into the Borough of Stourbridge. Following the Local Government Act 1972, Stourbridge was amalgamated into the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley and became part of the wider West Midlands county in 1974.

Church Stretton – at the heart of the Shropshire Hills

Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Shropshire Hills are recognised as one of Britain’s finest landscapes. It’s not just the stunning scenery which will captivate you, but the people and places, its history and heritage, the walking and wildlife, food and festivals.

The Shropshire Hills are believed to have the greatest variety of rock types of any comparable sized area in the U.K. But you don’t have to be an expert, just stand on any of the hilltops that surround Church Stretton and admire the view – the rocky Stiperstones, the plateau of the Long Mynd, the craggy volcanic Stretton Hills and Wrekin and the long wooded scarp of Wenlock Edge all have their own distinctive beauty.

The countryside around Church Stretton is steeped in history and folklore. Climb Caer Caradoc and walk the ramparts of this impressive Iron Age hillfort. Another fine example is across the valley – Bodbury Ring on the summit of Bodbury Hill. Sixteen Bronze Age burial mounds can be found on the Long Mynd and the Portway, a 5,000 year old ridgeway was once used by Neolithic traders.

This is a living and working landscape. Centuries of small scale farming has shaped the countryside and its communities. Church Stretton itself is a bustling market town which holds regular markets and includes many independent shops to browse, town trails to follow and tea shops to enjoy. You’ll also find good country pubs serving great food and ale in the surrounding picturesque villages.

What better way to enjoy the beauty of the area than to go for a walk. Come late summer the Long Mynd is a sea of purple and not to be missed. Along with the heather a variety of other plants flourish here including bilberry (known locally as whinberry). The hilltops are also home to upland birds such as curlew, red grouse and merlin, and you will never be far away from a buzzard circling overhead. Keep your eyes peeled and you will probably see red kite as well.

Much of the town centre still retains its medieval and Tudor flavour – narrow streets and half timbered houses, whilst Church Street and Etnam Street boast gracious terraces of the Georgian period.

The North Herefordshire area is home to many wonderful villages, including those on The Black and White Village Trail and Mortimer Country, places to visit and stunning scenery.

You'll also find the biggest chained library on the planet, dating from a time when books were so precious that they had to be locked up! Outside, a statue depicts Elgar leaning on his bicycle and gazing up at the cathedral – he wrote many of his major works while living in Hereford.

Most people think of Clun as a village, but it has the distinction of being granted a very early town charter in the 14th century. It was also mentioned in the Domesday Book.

There is archaeological evidence of habitation back as far as 5000 years ago with Neolithic and Bronze Age tools on display in the town’s museum.

Overlooking the town is the ruined Borderland castle, perched high on 2 ice age mounds with the River Clun running past it, makes a scenic picnic spot and a good place for the children to vent their energy running up and down the embankments.

Today the town is smaller than when it was granted its town status, but it has many interesting buildings and side streets through which to wander.

The narrow 15th century stone packhorse bridge divides the town in two, the ancient part on the south and the newer Norman town on the north.

Take a walk down the High Street and look for the old malt house.

The paper shop has a 12th century cruck beam which is still visible.
St. Catherine’s was a cottage hospital and then a maternity hospital and bears a plaque dating 1893.

Look for the green twin gabled Lower House farmhouse, above the door you will find a plaque-1682 Thos. Morris, gent and Jane his wife, do you think many couples would have such a plaque today?

When you arrive at the corner of Ford Street there is what is called Ship House, it used to be one the town’s pubs.

Continue on to Hospital Street and walk up the street to the Trinity Hospital Alms Houses. You will find them on your right through some iron gates. They were built in 1614 by the Earl of Northampton (brother of the owner of Clun Castle) for support of 12 indigent men of the town.
Clun
The men were supposed to pray daily and had strict night time curfews. In the gardens there are statues representing two of the well known residents. The statues have been made by a local sculpture, Jemma Pearson. The simple chapel (1845) is also open to visitors for prayer and a service on Tuesdays at 10 a.m.

The Square was once a hive of activity with the market and shops on all sides. There was livestock, produce, and in the summer when the bilberries ripened all the townspeople would head to the hills to pick the tiny berries to bring to market for sale to the cotton mills up north. The berries would be used for dying the clothes. Today you can still roam the hills and pick the berries for pie or crumble if you walk along the old drover’s roads.

The Town Hall was built by Lord Clive in 1780 and has been a jailhouse and a market hall. Today it is the location of the town museum.

The oldest part of the town is by St George’s Church. It was inhabited very early, perhaps by Bronze Age people; the churchyard indicates pre-Christian inhabitants and worship. The Celtics probably also worshiped on this spot, thus the origin of the name. There was also thought to have been an Anglo-Saxon church on the spot.

Today’s church is Norman and of great size and sits high on a hill looking down to the River Clun, the Castle and the two halves of the town. There are ancient yews on the churchyard and pastoral views if you look around.

The most popular annual event is the Green Man Day at the beginning of Spring when there is a battle on the bridge with the green man and the evil witch!
