Oswestry Ramblers welcome people who enjoy walking and the countryside. We walk twice a week mainly in Shropshire and Wales and help improve local footpaths.

This is a riverside walk along the North bank of the Severn loop in Shrewsbury. Starting from Frankwell car park, we cross over the river and walk through the scenic Quarry park, passing a suspension bridge, a toll bridge and an iron frame footbridge. We then find the Reabrook and follow the Kingfisher Way upstream through Reabrook valley nature reserve where we can have lunch at picnic tables. Tunnels take us under all major roads and footbridges cross the railways. We return through historical Belle Vue to the Severn on the south side, with an optional short climb up to Shrewsbury school where there are spectacular views of the town and Haughmond Hill in the distance.
Hard surface footpaths, meadow paths and very minor urban roads.
