Lillieshall Hill and Abbey

Lilleshall monument

Another lovely morning spent exploring the countryside where David spent his childhood and teenage years.
We climbed up to the monument on top of  Lilleshall Hill and experienced an amazing 360 deg view over the countryside. What a view! From there we drove through the tiny village of Lilleshall and onto Lilleshall Abbey. Lilleshall Abbey was an Augustinian abbey in Shropshire, England, today located 6 miles north of Telford. It was founded between 1145 and 1148 and followed the austere customs and observance of the Abbey of Arrouaise in northern France. It was very quiet and peaceful, we both took some  good photographs. 
It was market day in Newport, so very busy, and difficult to find parking in the narrow streets. We did find a park directly outside the house where David lived as a child!
After exploring the market, we picked up David's dad and headed to the Red House Pub  at Lilleshall for lunch.
