Wrockwardine Wood

Wrockwardine Wood (pronounced "Rock-war-dine"[citation needed]) is a village in the Telford and Wrekin borough in Shropshire, England and is bordered by Donnington, St Georges, Trench, The Nabb and Oakengates.

[citation needed] It consists of one main lake and many small swamps along with a large field and many pathways connecting Wrockwardine Wood to Donnington.

The route of the Donnington Canal ran through the southern section of the area,[citation needed] and there was also a Tin Chapel (the "dissident Methodist" Central Hall) that sat on top of one of the many "hills", but was dismantled during the 1980s.

The area is used by many people, especially those travelling to and from schools and the supermarket in Donnington Wood on the site of a former pit mound known as the Nobby Bank.
