Altogether the situation of Arley Castle and grounds is most delightful, and the spot is just such an one as the world-weary may resort to for refreshment and rest, and where fresh vigour to renew the battle of life may be acquired. And the worthy proprietor of this fair domain is no niggard of the beauties that surround him, but permits all comers who ask for the liberty to ramble at will over the grounds, and enjoy with him its landscape beauties. Picnics from the surrounding country, both by water and rail, frequently make the grounds of Arley Castle their rendezvous during the summer season.

At Coalport, is the terminus of a branch of the London and North-Western Railway from Wellington. The terminus is some 60 or 80 yards from the Severn Valley line, but at a much lower level, and it is very clear that in constructing the two lines there was no idea of the possibility of a future junction of the two. The river running between them appears to mark the territory on either bank as not to be encroached upon.
