Information update: Telford & East Shropshire Ramblers' campaign for new Gorge paths around Ironbridge Power Station.

We were invited by the new owners of the Ironbridge Power Sation to take part in a private workshop 27 September in advance of the public consultations to discuss the future of the site.  Our campaign for new rights of way here was featured in the Shropshire Star and Telford Journal and continues to  attract wide support, including support from some key decision-makers. You can read all about it on the Campaigns section of this website. 

Information update: Telford & East Shropshire Ramblers adoption of the Hutchison Way results in improvements!

We got new waymarks from the Council and we have now waymarked this route in both directions, (nearly all the original waymarks and signposts had been damaged or disappeared.) Our Footpath Maintenance Group looked after The Hutchison Way during 2018, clearing undergrowth, improving signage and reporting problems to Telford & Wrekin Council. We also revised and updated the route description for the Council website. This important long-distance footpath (pictured left) links the towns of Wellington and Newport and connects with the Silkin Way: using these two paths one can walk on green ways to any part of Telford & Wrekin. Our work got a mention on the Telford Facebook page with before and after photos.
