Did you know...Tenbury Wells, an ancient market town in north-west Worcestershire, is just a few miles from Birmingham yet surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Teme valley.
It is also the mistletoe capital of Britain – much of the UK's mistletoe grows in this part of the Midlands, and the parasitic plant thrives on the fruit trees in the many orchards dotted around town.
Mistletoe auctions have been held there for more than 100 years, and they still survive today, alongside a host of other mistletoe-themed events. So go for a romantic stroll (you do not have to be back in Old UK!) and kiss under the mistletoe!
HAVE A WONDERFUL BOXING DAY EVERYONE!
I didn't know that. I always learn so much from you Noelle!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Boxing Day.
