Overview

This is an undemanding walk on well made paths and tracks through and around the National Trust owned Dudmaston estate. There are some areas that may be muddy if wet. Car parking is in a National Trust car park so any members bring membership cards to avoid parking charges.

We will be walking through the Dudmaston estate but not going into areas that require membership cards to be shown. We will be using the Geopark Way long distance path for part of our walk. This is a trail that runs between Bridgnorth and Gloucester(109 miles) and highlights the geological features of the area. I have indicated that refreshments and toilet facilities are available on the walk but the time we arrive at the facility may be subject to change depending on weather conditions. Stiles 4
