Overview

An approximately 4-mile walk taking in Belle Vue, Kingsland and The Quarry. 

Starting from Abbey Foregate, we will walk south along Belle Vue road before picking up footpaths that take us north into Kingsland. We will take in the views from above the Royal Shrewsbury School Boat Club, and then descend down to the River Severn. From here we will cross the river at Porthill Suspension Bridge, before returning back to our start point through The Quarry. 

There are options for a drink at the end of the walk in Wyle Cop or Coleham, with those who wish to drive home walking the short distance back to the car park.
