The Bromlow Callow is a
landscape marker and may have been a shelter for sheep and their shepherds
whilst droving flocks to market in the valleys. The trees have a tranquil, if
slightly eerie quality and would certainly have provided shelter for weary
travellers. The landscape inspired the Shropshire author Mary Webb to write
“It was cold in the
Callow, a spinney of silver birches and larches that
topped the hill.” ‘Gone to Earth’ Chapter 1
