Welshampton to Ellesmere, Blakemere & Colemere


 A  6-7 mile circular walk from Welshampton to Ellesmere and back via Blakemere and Colemere. Meet at Sherry Mill Hill at 09.30 to car-share to Welshamption Village car park [down the lane behind the school]. If you live nearer Welshampton meet there at 09.45. There will be a coffee stop at Ellesmere. Please bring a packed lunch to eat near Blakemere. Although there are few if any stiles, there may be some cattle or sheep and therefore the walk may not be suitable for dogs.

Tyrley Lock
Loggerheads Loop from Tyrley Locks

Starting from Tyrley Locks at 13.30, we shall head towards Hales village through country roads and newly diverted footpaths through fields. There are some livestock in the fields before Hales. From Hales on towards Almington along country roads before joining the Newcastle Way (a walking route from Market Drayton to Mow Cop) towards Market Drayton. We cross over Coalbrook and  another bridge, then through crop fields before we reach Market Drayton. To avoid steep steps up the aqueduct at the end of the Newcastle Way we shall walk through Tern Fisheries before joining the Shropshire Union Canal. Then the remaining part of the walk is  along the canal towpath returning to Tyrley Locks.
