Overview

This route starts in the medieval town of Shifnal, with its fine Tudor buildings followed by a short climb that's rewarded with views from the top of Lodge Hill across farmland, then through woodland to Evelith Mill. We'll continue our walk through King Charles's Wood to the remains of Kemberton Mill and return to Shifnal along a path beside Wesley Brook. We'll stop for a coffee break on the way - so bring a drink and a snack.

After the walk we'll pop into the Anvil Pub for the social bit - just a light lunch, no hot food but a selection of filled rolls, salads,  and bar food, sausage rolls, scotch eggs.  Dogs are welcome in the pub.
