Oswestry Ramblers welcome people who enjoy walking and the countryside. We walk twice a week mainly in Shropshire and Wales and help improve local footpaths.
This is a riverside walk along the north bank of the Severn loop, passing a suspension bridge, a toll bridge and an iron frame footbridge. We find the Reabrook and follow the Kingfisher Way upstream through the surprisingly rural Reabrook valley within Shrewsbury town; a good place for a picnic lunch. Tunnels take us under all major roads and then footbridges cross the railways. We return through historical Belle Vue to the Severn on the south side and pass close by Shrewsbury School.
The walk is very easy , with an optional climb up to Shrewsbury School near the end to enjoy stunning views over the town. The distance is closer to 5 miles to allow for a coffee stop in the Quarry gardens.
Zone C
Gatacre playing fields car park, Oswestry
Frankwell car park - parking is free on Sundays - and I propose moving off from the bottom of the footbridge which leads into town at 10.30 am.
