Local walks in the area
Granville Country Park
Granville Country Park is adjacent to the club’s land. It is one of the largest and most wildlife diverse of places in the locality. It is much valued by local people for its recreational opportunities. Nature has reclaimed it after centuries of industrial activity, which finally ceased when Granville, the last deep mine in the county, closed down.
Relics of former industrial activity, including furnaces and an old winding house, are now surrounded by woodland full of birds, while pit mounds of waste have been transformed into flower-rich grassland and heath.
The Wrekin
The Wrekin is less than 10 miles from the club. A spectacular walk to the top of the Wrekin, the “little mountain” in Shropshire with the most diverse geology found on Earth.
The Sabbath Walks Trial – Coalbrookdale
The Sabbath or Workmen’s Walks were mainly used on Sundays, a day of rest, by the resident Quakers in Ironbridge for the workers to exercise and enjoy the views overlooking industrial Coalbrookdale and the panoramic views of the iconic Ironbridge Gorge.
