Overview

 

A splendid walk along paths, bridleways and quiet country lanes skirting Lizard Wood. 

Starting from the lovely old market town of Shifnal, we walk through town before heading across country with wide open views of the surrounding countryside. We follow leafy lanes to reach the privately owned Lizard Wood, before joining the Monarch's Way back towards Shifnal, offering lovely views of The Wekin and Lizard Wood. We cross Bonemill Bridge, continuing on the Monarch's Way, returning to Shifnal on the other side of town.
