Grinshill & Corbet Wood

Walk directions

1. Start

   Head out of the car park entrance, past the old quarryman’s hut, and go left along the lane.
   
   

2. Step 2

   Keep to the lane passing houses on the left and right until you reach a metal barrier on the left.

3. Step 3

   Go round the barrier, straight through the trees across the clearing and follow the path uphill.

4. Step 4

   When you meet the broad sandy path turn left uphill (not suitable for pushchairs without help). At the top you pass the square concrete trig point and beacon to get to the view point. Caution! – cliff edge.

5. Step 5

   Retrace your steps and then stay on the broad sandy path downhill to eventually reach the main track. Ahead of you, to the left, is Clive school. There is a lovely clearing with a bench and great views; you can see the spire of Clive church from here. For the shorter walk turn right along the track to return to the car park.

6. Step 6

   Turn left past the school and down the sunken track cut into the bedrock, to reach the road by Clive church.
   
   

7. Step 7

   Turn left, along the road round the church wall then left back into the wood along a muddy track.

8. Step 8

   Follow the track as it winds around the bottom of the wood. You can see the quarry face on your left and pass Grinshill Animal Rescue Centre.

9. Step 9

   When the track opens out ignore the turnings to the right to Grinshill and follow the path left round the back of the village hall.

10. Step 10

    Where the track turns right go straight on along a narrower path. This is the Shropshire Way.

11. Step 11

    The track widens again, keep to the main track bearing right to some wooden rails.

12. Step 12

    Keep left uphill here to follow a sunken bridleway back to the car park.
