Farley Dingle, between Much Wenlock and Buildwas, is a delightful sheltered valley that takes the Farley Brook from Much Wenlock to the river Severn.
What an idyllic spot for an old woodman’s cottage dating back to 1646 – and an ideal site to build a garden!
Those were the thoughts of Peter and Ann Wight when they started 12 years ago to create a two-acre garden at The Cottage.
Imagine their horror last July to see it swept away when the peaceful brook trickling through their garden turned into a raging torrent, carrying with it tons of rock and shale.
