The Berth submitted by VirtHist on 7th Oct 2004. This is one of my favourite views of the Berth. Beautiful, isn't it?

Legend has it...
There are a few local folk tales about these ...

Log Text: On private land, was able to visit with the local Archaeological society. The bronze cauldron found in the causeway is now housed in Shrewsbury Museum.
