Overview

Hello Everyone  

We're always keen to explore nice but lesser known places hence this Sundays walk just east of Shrewsbury with a mainly flat sortie through the countryside of the Sundorne estate, starting from the village of Uffington visiting the remains of the Augustinian Haughmond Abbey and returning up and over Haughmond Hill.

Why not join us? You're most welcome to do so of course! Let us know beforehand if this is your very first time with the group please👍. Thank you.

Registration: 09.45. Walk Start: 10.00.  Walk leaders: John & Jen (07803 811563)

No facilities at the start, but loo's available at lunchtime.

Parking courtesy of Uffington Village Hall to whom we'd like to make a donation of £1.00 per person. Thank you.

⚠️🅿️Please be prepared to block park if necessary.

☕🍺Post walk socials at the nearby Corbet Arms in Uffington.
