Trench and Middle Pool were originally part of the surrounding canal systems. But today they're a peaceful place to ride and home to a variety of water birds and other wildlife.

The name of this pub is unusual as it is not a corruption of the Blue Boar as are other Blue Pigs , the name comes from the Pig Iron that was transported on the old canal that used to run past the pub (its at the bottom of the Trench incline) the pig iron was generally a blue colour . The Brewery did attempt to rename it the Shropshire Arms but nobody took any notice so Blue Pig it remains

The last few metres are hike-a-bike, but it's well worth the climb up to this monument erected by a local lord in memory of his father in the early 19th century. The monument itself is monolithic rather than pretty, but the 360-degree panorama is stunning - on a clear day you can see The Wrekin, The Long Mynd, and over the border into Wales.
