Please Note:
The Trail starts in a pay and display car park where there are toilets.
There is one steep hill, but it isn't very long. Light pushchairs should manage this without too much trouble. If arriving in Church Stretton by train, the Trail can be started half way through as there are a couple of clues at the station.
At the time of writing it was £2.40 for up to four hours in the car park, £3.60 for all day and free on Sundays.
