Blue Trail
 

This is the easiest trail in the wood. Most of the trail is on wide forest roads with one section (the begining up-hill section) on an unsurfaced track. Once you get up the hill it is a gentle sweep back down to the car park.

How to get there:

Blue Trail can be started from Eastridge Car Park in Eastridge which is part of The Marches. Minsterley is the nearest town or village.

From Shrewsbury take the A488 to Minsterley. In Minsterley turn left onto Callow lane sign posted to Habberly. Continue to the T junction and turn right, bear right when the road forks and take the first turning on the right up a narrow lane.

OS Grid Reference: SJ392028
