Our May walk will take us to Ironbridge and is 5-6 miles long. We will start at the Green Wood Centre and walk along the side of the River Severn then cross the World Heritage Site Ironbridge where you’ll be able to see the recent restoration work. We continue uphill then it flattens off across farmland and on to National Trust property Benthall Hall. We’ll have a short snack / butty stop and then follow the Shropshire Way and old railway track which will return us across the famous bridge. Then along the Wharfage and back for tea / coffee and cake, or more at the Café.
The walk is suitable for dogs but there could potentially be livestock in the fields at the time of the walk.
Something to sit on is advisable for our snack stop.
Please note, appropriate footwear is needed as the paths will be muddy, even if there’s a heatwave!

In March, we will be walking from Kingsford Forest Park which is about a mile away from the well-known Kinver Edge. It is a 6 mile circular walk. There is a short steep section towards the start of the walk and a short section of quite sharp descent later on in the walk but you will rewarded with a chance for a mid walk café stop and baby donkeys to see at Bodenham Arboretum! ?
We will follow a delightful route through lanes and byways to Coldridge Wood before returning to the start via the aforesaid Bodenham Arboretum. It encompasses views of the local countryside and quiet lanes alongside and through fields. Several sections take you through woodland and past a couple of pools.
Please wear suitable footwear and bring something to eat. Paths will be very muddy in places.
