Shropshire Walking Connections


The Heart of Wales Line Community Rail Partnership have received funding from Avanti West Coast to deliver a series of led walks. These will take place in March in Shropshire.


There will be four walks led by Lisa Denison of Quiet Walks who is a professional walking guide and will offer support and encouragement. Each weekly walk will be from a town or village on the Heart of Wales Line (see below for dates and locations).


Participants will be able to access the walks by train and take part in a short scenic circular walk which will take a couple of hours.


There are 8 spaces available and all travel and incidental costs will be covered. The hope is that participants will benefit physically and mentally from going on the walks and that by the end of the 4 weeks they will feel more confident in going for a walk alone or as a group together. Ideally you would be able to attend all 4 walks.


The dates are as follows:


March 7 th - Shrewsbury

March 14 th - Craven Arms

March 21st - Broome/Aston on Clun

March 28th - Church Stretton


If you would like to apply please fill in this form here. Closing date 26th February 2024.
