Talk:Shropshire

I was born and grew up in Shropshire (within a couple of miles of Kynaston's Cave), but have never considered it to be "a caving area" as such. There are lots of interesting underground sites in the county in terms of mines, rock shelters and so on, but little in the way of natural limestone caves. I've not visited the sites in the Ceiriog Valley, but these have been included in the Wales section because they are geologically part of the North East Wales limestone outcrops - they are right on the border; the wiki grid references suggest that they are in Wales, but I'm willing to be corrected. Ogof Llanymynech is definitely in Wales, but you drive up to it from England/Shropshire.

By all means keep the Shropshire page if you're going to add content though!

Just a thought - is it worth putting a separate page for Shropshire as (a)it's in England, not Wales - where some of Shropshire's caves seem to be placed, and/or (b)there seems to be a goodly number of caves?

If there's a significant number of caves then it might be worth having it as a sub-area of "England" rather than of "Others". I don't know much about the area at all, despite growing up nearby.

Hmmm, I'll check on the numbers - what's the break even point on having it as a sub-area rather than in 'others'? Might be worth doing this with Yorkshire (Other than the Dales) having added a goodly number to that.....?

Martin - Later on 6th Sept.

Not sure about an exact number, hard to say. I think Yorkshire + Dales might get confusing as a lot of people think of them as an interchangeable term. Just my 2c though, not really sure!

Probably be good to keep both Shropshire and Other: Yorkshire where they are - save any confusion!
