Overview

The first short and social of 2024! A scenic walk, incorporating some of Telford's lovely green spaces. From The Priorslee, we take a footpath around the Flash, with its abundance of waterfowl. We make our way to St George's and Redhill Ecology Park before entering the Cockshutt via The Nabb. We follow 'the pig rails', an old tram way, to circuit this impressive beech woodland, returning to The Nabb and on to Snedshill, with its fabulous views of the surrounding area before returning to Priorslee on the opposite  side of the Flash. We aim to be back at The Priorslee for lunch at 1.30 if people would just like to join us for lunch!! Their menu can be found at https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/shropshire/priorslee/menu . Please let the leader know if you are coming. Currently they don't require us to pre-book our meal choices but it is probably helpful!
