for all friends across the Atlantic I should point out that the Wrekin (reekin) is a fairly small pimple type hill on a flat plain in Shropshire, England. I live fifteen miles away and it dominates our landscape. The story of its origin is very interesting. next time you holiday over here, forget crowded London and try Shropshire. There's more to see and do in the shadow of the Wrekin than you could imagine.
