INDEPENDENT WALKING IN SHROPSHIRE
Shropshire is a beautiful county. It is famous for the high moorland of the Long Mynd, the long wooded scarp of Wenlock Edge, the historic Severn Gorge at Ironbridge (the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution), the ancient rocky spine of the Stiperstones, and the Wrekin, the isolated hill which indicates 'home' to so many Shropshire people.
But, there are many lesser known areas which provide equally stunning countryside to enjoy.
There is so much space for everyone. Fine weekends bring the crowds to Ironbridge and the Carding Mill Valley in the Long Mynd, but just a short distance away you can be alone and quite possibly not see anyone at all. The downside to the quiet and emptiness of the countryside is that paths are not heavily used and can make navigation not so straightforward..
Useful Information:
Problems on footpaths:
We hope to develop a section on this website to provide information about problems on footpaths in Shropshire, including Obstructions, temporary closures and re-openings
It would help us and all walkers if you could report problems you encounter with Rights of Way while walking in Shropshire to the County Council.
Conservation land:
There is quite a lot of conservation land open to the public in Shropshire. See the following websites
