Woodland Trails on the Foothills of The Wrekin

Highlight • Viewpoint

This majestic woodland located on the slopes of some of the most stunning mountains in the Shropshire Hills is a unique and wonderful place for a walk. The trees rise up high above you as you make your way along a magical footpath, make sure to peek through the trees and enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The Wrekin Hillfort

Highlight • Viewpoint

A gorgeous and popular hike full of history, going as far back as the Iron Age with its hill fort. There are a whole host of routes to the top: some are muddy, some are not so muddy. There’s a large car park at the start of my route. It’s a lovely hill to have a hike on!

The Wrekin summit

Highlight • Summit

A 'little mountain' in Shropshire, it dominates the surrounding countryside. The shortest walk to the summit from the forest glen car park is very well marked. The start of the trail is the steepest section so may be worth pacing yourself unless you're fitter than I am. The summit itself has spectacular views in good weather. It's also the site of an Iron Age hill fort. There's a common local saying 'round the Wrekin' meaning to take the long way round... something I quite like doing when out walking.

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

Halfway House Café (Wrekin Trail)

Highlight • Cafe

I'm not entirely sure what the half way house is half way between. Presumably the Wrekin Summit and somewhere. It didn't however feel half way up the trail I walked. It is however a great place to stop for a break, maybe get an ice cream and sit outside in the sun looking out over fantastic views.
