On each of the ‘Pontesbury Walks’ you can experience views of the church, village and the hills beyond. Keep an eye out for local wildlife too you may catch a glimpse of a kingfisher, buzzard or hare along the way!
Mostly a good firm surface on old track with gates.
Turn right out of Pontesbury Medical Practice and walk down Hall Bank until you reach a kissing gate on your right (just after the bus shelter).
Turn right through the kissing gate and into the field. Continue along the fence line of the houses on your left to another kissing gate ahead of you.
Once through the kissing gate turn right onto the old railway line. Continue past the playground, over Hinton Lane bridge, past Roseville (Rose Cottage where Mary Webb wrote her first novels) until you reach the junction with Back Lane.
Turn right up Back Lane for approximately 100 metres until you see a footpath sign through a gate into a field on your right hand side.
Turn right through the gate into the field and continue straight ahead following the hedge line on your left. You will pass through three more gates, onto a narrow path that leads to another gate onto a track.
Once on the track continue straight ahead towards the Shrewsbury road (Main Road).
When you reach the road turn right towards the village centre and continue to the junction with Hall Bank.
Follow the pavement around to the right onto Hall Bank and continue back to Pontesbury Medical Practice on your right hand side.
