Stormy Weather: We advise people to avoid entering the woods during high winds.
Eastridge Woods
A hill-top woodland with stunning views across the surrounding countryside
Eastridge Woods is enjoyed by visitors on foot, on horseback or on two wheels. Passing through the forest is the Shropshire Way, a long distance walking route covering over 200 miles of beautiful Shropshire countryside, which can be tackled in smaller sections.
A Ride Shropshire horse riding trail makes use of the forest roads, circling the perimeter of the woodland.
There are also some great mountain bike trails for those who likes roots, rocks and a little bit of mud. The trails in this wood were built in partnership with the Eastridge Trail Partnership.

Public notice
Eastridge is part of the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve. In partnership with landowners and community organisations, this designation extends our woodland management ethos — for wildlife, people, and the economy — into the wider landscape, improving habitat connectivity and supporting more joined-up conservation.
The Stiperstones National Nature Reserve is now being extended and renamed the Stiperstones Landscape National Nature Reserve. Please read the public notice about this change by clicking on this link.
Help us protect the countryside. Never light a BBQ, campfire, or stove in the forest at any time of year.
Happy times and waggy tails
For a safe and enjoyable visit for everyone, read our guidance on dogs in the forest.
