Overview

A circular relatively flat walk taking in the Severn Way: Shrewsbury downstream loop, Springfield Mere Countryside Site and part of the Rea Brook Valley Local Nature Reserve.

The route can be muddy in places, especially after rain.

The walk leader will go directly to the start, so you will need to arrange your own car shares from Telford.

N.B. Limited places available: Please book with the leader prior to the walk.
