Introducing The Bog Visitor Centre in Shropshire, run by volunteers in a gas-lit Victorian school, one of the few remaining buildings of a lost lead and barytes-mining village which featured an amazing aerial ropeway and is set in a legendary landscape noted for the exploits of Wild Edric.

  Season opening 2012: March 31 to 4 November, Wednesday to Sunday 10:00-17:00 but every day during school holidays and on Bank Holiday Mondays. (10.00am-4.00pm during October) .

The traditional Christmas Fair is on the weekend of November 10/11.
