About Porth-y-waen

Porth-y-waen rests quietly in Shropshire, a place where the land remembers its past. It lies 6.6 km south-south-west of Croesoswallt (from Croesoswallt: bearing 206°T, OS grid SJ 260 238), and is situated east-south-east of Nantmawr village. The gentle slope of the land here, leading towards the Welsh Marches, suggests a long history of movement and settlement, the very air carrying a subtle, earthy scent. Porth-y-waen’s landscape is marked by the enduring presence of limestone quarries, their pale, weathered faces a testament to a long-gone industry that shaped the contours of the surrounding hills. The light, when it breaks through the often-grey skies, can fall in broad, soft swathes across the fields, illuminating the green in a way that feels both stark and comforting.
