Woodland Trails on the Foothills of The Wrekin

Highlight • Viewpoint

This majestic woodland located on the slopes of some of the most stunning mountains in the Shropshire Hills is a unique and wonderful place for a walk. The trees rise up high above you as you make your way along a magical footpath, make sure to peek through the trees and enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Muddy Area in Shropshire Hills National Landscape

Highlight • Trail

This side of the loop catches most of the water running of the hill and it congregates along the natural pathways. Suitable footwear which is waterproof and can handle mud are advised, even better to have gaiters. There are pathways around to avoid, but at some point you will be in the mud.
