Please Note:
The High Street suffers from severe flooding at times, so pick a dry day to solve this mystery. There is a steep hill to climb and a challenging descent!
Please also note that currently the route heads to the Museum of Iron and there are two Clues there that may be inaccessible on Mondays in the winter. For confirmation of exact opening times, see their website. https://www.ironbridge.org.uk/explore/coalbrookdale-museum-of-iron/#modal-opening.
We are currently unaware of any restrictions for dogs on this Trail, and whilst most of our Trails can be enjoyed with dogs, those in towns and cities may be less suitable due to traffic and a lack of open spaces. You may also encounter restricted access to parks etc.
