Hinstock

Ashfields is a village in Shropshire, England.

Quarry Wood nature reserve is a 7-acre (28,000 m2) woodland on the west side of the A41 road at Hinstock in Shropshire that is managed by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. Oak, birch and occasional hornbeam grow alongside swathes of rhododendron. The sandstone cliffs were formed in the Triassic period, around 220 million years ago, when this part of the country was hot and dry and dinosaurs were first emerging. The quarry may have provided the stone for the tower of St Oswald's church in the village and also some of the older houses, though quarrying ceased in the 1890s. The wood once provided cover for vast flocks of roosting thrushes and finches and, between 1966 and 1985, around 20,000 birds were ringed there. These birds no longer roost in such numbers, but the wood is home to a variety of birds including Eurasian jays, tits, Eurasian nuthatches, great spotted woodpeckers and other common woodland birds.

Tyrley Canal Cutting is a Site of Special Scientific Interest located on the Shropshire Union Canal approximately 2.5 miles south of Market Drayton, to the east of the A529 in Shropshire, England.

The site shows a major river-channel sandstone, together with overbank or crevasse-splay sandstones, associated with flood plain deposits. It is the best site for showing details of channel form and for interpreting their mode of formation. The site is of considerable importance for helping to interpret the Late Carboniferous and Early Permian geological history of Britain, and for demonstrating characteristics of river sediments of that era.
