Whilst we have reintroduced our Walk Programme, a programme of walks observing social distancing and other advisory guidelines, see Advice to Walkers, there are still changes which may affect the continuing programmes. Please check the website before the walk to ensure that no last minute changes have been necessary. Times of Departure and Return are train times from and to  Shrewsbury Rail Station, walks start 5 minutes after arrival at destination station.
