Wilfreds Walk
Henrys Hike
Geo Trail
Cycling If you choose to cycle on Haughmond Hill please take care as large numbers of families and walkers with dogs use the site. Please do not cycle on the Corbett Easy Access Trail. Eastridge Woods near Minsterley has cross country and downhill cycle trails and will give you a far better ride.
HorseRiding.gif Riders are asked not to ride on the Corbett Easy Access Trail and the Geo Trail due to the surfacing.
