Much Wenlock

This year is the bicentenary of the birth of Dr William Penny Brookes 1809 – 2009, the founding father of the modern Olympic Games. The first ever Olympian Games were held in Much Wenlock in 1850. These games helped inspire the modern International Olympic Games, which were first held in Athens, 46 years later in 1896. The 123rd Olympian Games start today in Much Wenlock.

Whilst in Much Wenlock, you could do the Olympic Trail or have a meal in the Wenlock Deli:
They don't do those Olympic Breakfasts, but they do have French style bread baked daily on the premises.
