We are the Telford & East Shropshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk through the beautiful woods of Haughmond Hill with some scenic views across Shropshire and into Wales, weather permitting. The walk includes less used steeper, unmade paths. It can be muddy and have muddy puddles in places, especially after rain. Includes viewpoints, information boards on the fauna, flora, wellbeing mindfulness prompts and a loop of Haughmond Abbey.
Opportunity to visit Haughmond Abbey (daylight permitting) at the end. PLEASE NOTE WALK START place has been changed to the main Forestry Commission car park, as the small free car park nearer the Abbey is now closed at the moment.
Leader will go directly to the start.
Participants may be able to arrange their own car shares
Walking poles and robust footwear are recommended for steeper and muddy areas.
As it has been a wet and windy winter, please bring suitable clothing, plus a hot drink and food. N.B. The cafe and toilets may be closed mid week in winter, check opening times
The Ramblers now operates a Walk Leader to participant ratio, please WhatsApp or text to book on with the leader prior to the walk to reserve your place.
The walk is dog-friendly – Well behaved dogs welcome. Please see the Telford & East Shropshire Ramblers Dog Policy: https://tesramblers.org.uk/walks/dog-policy.html
