Walks & Trails

After having to cancel this year’s Ironbridge Gorge Walking Festival, Ironbridge Walking Group are pleased to offer a programme of walks for this year’s Ironbridge World Heritage Festival of Imagination!

This year has seen our poor Gorge face one trial after another, so we’re keen to get back and celebrate all the fabulous things our area offers. Amazing Creatives, interesting shops, fabulous food and of course great walks!

Our walks include some old favourites, some new walks intended for our May festival, some walks celebrating The Shropshire Way ( our county’s very own long distance trail ) and some walks new for this festival! There is at least one walk every day and they vary from 2.5 to 20 miles so hopefully something for everyone. Over the two weeks there is a total of over 140 miles on offer – so if you care to join us for 3 or more walks, we are offering our 25, 50 and even our 100 mile medals!

All walks are being run following RamblersUK guidelines, as the acknowledged national sporting body for walking, and we are limiting them to 9 walkers plus the walk leader, to allow social distancing on the walk. All walks require PRE-BOOKING to ensure that numbers are not exceeded and to provide appropriate contact tracing details.

Do come and join us – it would be great to catch up with old friends and lovely to make some new ones!

In addition the Festival of Imagination welcomes back Telford – Ultimate Guide Walks who have put together a range of four walks for the festival. In total we have 28 walks on offer so there is something for everyone.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE SUITABLY PREPARED TO WALK SAFELY.
