We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This moderate 7.5 mile walk may be strenuous in parts, but it takes in lovely views of Benthall Hall as well as the world-famous town of Ironbridge. From Benthall Hall car park we walk down to the Iron Bridge, following a section of the Shropshire Way and on the old Severn Valley railway track. We then follow the Iron Trail, an enjoyable 3.5 mile circular route through the stunning landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, up to a famous historic viewpoint at the Rotunda. We return to the former railway track and begin a steep climb (on a series of wooden steps) out of Ironbridge Gorge. There is a pleasant stretch of woodland before a steep incline to Patton's Rock Quarry View. We then walk along the top of Benthall Edge and gently uphill through fields to the Hall
Guests please contact the walk leader if you would like to join this walk.
