We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hello Everyone
This Sunday sees our final Shropshire ramble of 2024 with a visit to Nesscliffe a few miles west of Shrewsbury with Andy at the helm. His is a Moderately graded walk on a variety of terrain with one or two ups & downs but nothing too serious, approximately seven stiles and a few stone steps to climb. Expect some mud in places.
This area is new to many of us - always a bonus.
As always, you're welcome to join us. It'd be good if you could let us know should this be your first time out with Chase & District a day or two beforehand please, thanks. If you've been with the group before just turn up. We'll hopefully recognise you!🤔
Registration: 09.30 Walk start: 09.45. Walk leader: Andy (07835 430935)
⚠️No facilities at the start or during the walk. However, there are services just off the M54 at junction 4 (Shifnal) and also the A5/A49 island south of Shrewsbury. The loo's are within the Esso station at the latter.
🅿️Somewhat limited parking therefore car sharing recommended.
Post walk refreshments at the Old Three Pigeons pub in Nesscliffe.
See you all there on Sunday morning.
Directions primarily for our our own members or anyone arriving via the A5. The start is located just a couple of miles off the A5 so relatively quick to reach.

Pick up either the A5 westbound or the M54 westbound direction Telford. If on the A5 join the M54 at either Junction 3 (via the A41) or Junction 4 (via the A4640) and continue westwards where the M54 merges onto the A5 south of Wellington.
Continue until the first island where bear left into the filter lane and continue on the A5, through the next island, until the third island at the junction of the A49 where you may wish to divert into the services for the loo's within the Esso station building.
From here continue along the A5 for 8 miles and through three further islands until Felton Butler Roundabout (marked as such) where turn right signed for Nesscliffe. After 1.4 miles enter Nesscliffe village, pass the hotel, then look out for the petrol station. 100 yards after this turn right into Hopton Lane and follow the course of this narrow road uphill for 0.4 mile to reach the lay-by parking area on your right (photo above).
