Directly across the street from the Guildhall is the museum which displays local memorabilia, geological history and selected artifacts from Wenlock Olympian Society.

The Tourist Information Office is in the same building. Just outside their door is a map showing details of another Wenlock walk - the Olympian Trail which will guide you past points of interest relating to the origins of the modern Olympic games.

You can follow the trail using the bronze plaques mounted in the pavement throughout the town and a leaflet is available from tourist information.

Across the street, The George & Dragon brewed beer & cider into the 1950's. People say that they used to keep a large black dog in the cellar to guard the beer but he was somewhat neglected by the owner.

It is said that his image can be sometimes be seen wandering around the pub looking for attention or if you put you hand out, you might just just feel the warmth of his breath as he gently brushes past you.
