Easy Access 8: Stanmore Country Park

Stanmore Country Park

Once known as RAF Bridgnorth, Stanmore Country Park is the site of a World War II training base. The Country Park also includes a War Memorial, and offers excellent access owing to its level terrain. Many of the Camp’s original tarmac paths still exist making it ideally suitable for visitors with wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Path Information

The Country Park has a level car park with excellent access to the main wooded area and a map of the site. There is also access from here across the road to the northern end of the site. Generally the paths are fairly broad, hard-packed stone or concrete. In places the paths follow the tarmac roads of the original training camp.

Visitor Information

  • Open dawn to dusk
  • Free car parking for 30+ vehicles on level gravel surface
  • Surfaced access from car park to paths, suitable for mobility scooters.  Stanmore Country Park is accessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters by using a RADAR key in the padlock attached to the kissing gates leading off the main car park and also the kissing gate leading off the Hobbins entrance. Unlock the padlock and slide the bar to the side. The gate will now open fully to allow you to go through.  RADAR keys can be obtained through this link or through a number of online retailers which can be found through an internet search.
