great little gravel segment

Via de English Bridge bereik de Shrewsbury Abbey

We couldn't find an entrance. Is it accessible?

Worth a visit this time of year as it’s nice and warm with good beer, coffee & food open every lunch time 🥲

There have been several churches built on this site. The church was first founded in around 1155 but fell into disrepair and the present building was built in 1856. Not the oldest of churches by any means but still a very nice modest replacement for the godly flock of Uffington.

Shropshire's lost waterways were once a hub of industry, transporting coal from Telford to Shrewsbury in the 18th century, and iron ore and limestone during the 19th century. Several feats of engineering grace the now peaceful canals, including the Trench Incline, which raised boats by some 75ft and continued working until 1921; Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct; Berwick Tunnel - the first tunnel of a significant length which had a towpath through it - and eleven guillotine-gated locks, two of which can still be seen at Hadley Park, Telford. Today, the fine gravel of the towpaths, leisure and liveaboard boats and abundance of wildlife offers a perfect playground for cyclists, walkers and runners.

Absolutley wonderful gravel track with amazing views, however the way up from the south, is rocky and you'll likely neeed to walk.

Wonderful place to stop and take in the view of Shropshire out to Wales.
