Tips

March 29, 2018

Hiking

A good base from which to walk up the Wrekin. This is a free car park but often gets busy during weekend and summer days.

Hiking

As Roger says above, about the best base you can have to walk or run up the Wrekin. Two large halves to the car park with no height restriction barriers. No payment required. Pretty much a good flow of visitors here any time of the day or week as it is the highest hill in the area.

Hiking

There is a little stream at the other side of the road, which is amazing to wash your dog off before they get back in the car!!
