Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Shrewsbury, there are a few things you need to know…
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that dogs may need to be kept on leads.
The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Raven Meadows (SY1 1HE), just a few minutes’ walk away. Or why not try Shrewsbury’s Park and Ride service?
There are some fantastic events in Shrewsbury’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for events before setting off.
There are public toilets available in the park towards the middle of the Trail. This is also a fantastic spot for a picnic.
