The Dingle — Attraction in Shrewsbury

What a lovely place, so much colour. Visited the Quarry for a walk along the river and came across the place. It is set behind a hedged enclosure, so hidden until you walk through the gates, what a surprise! Everywhere is a wash of colour, its planted out like municipal parks used to be.
