The Shropshire Way 

John Newnham, the former chairman of Shrewsbury Ramblers, passed away peacefully on January 11, at the Vicarage Nursing Home in Bayston Hill after a period of ill health. After exploring the Shropshire Way, I’m excited to take a journey along the Sandstone Trail. This stunning 37-mile walk cuts through the heart of Cheshire, passing through fields, woodlands, and quaint villages. Along the way, you’ll find plenty of spots to stop for a picnic or a rest, so you can take your time and enjoy the scenery. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous hike, Attingham Park is the perfect place to find it. The Shrewsbury to Ironbridge Trail

Thursday walks are graded between leisurely and moderate and range between 5 and 7 miles. We also have occasional Saturday walks using buses. The terrain and conditions are changeable, so suitable footwear is absolutely essential. And at the end of your journey, you’ll have the chance to enjoy the spectacular views from the summit of the Long Mynd. Wrexham - the walk then heads to the largest town in north Wales, passing the National Trust Property of Erddig Hall just before. I’ve had the pleasure of exploring some of the best walks in Shrewsbury, and I can honestly say they’re some of the best I’ve ever experienced.Continuing on from the beautiful Sarn Helen Trail, the Nesscliffe Trail is another one of the best walks in Shrewsbury.
