Feel Good Forest Trail at Haughmond Hill

Connect with nature and feel good

We've been working with WWF to create a new, interactive family-friendly trail that provides an exciting way to get your daily dose of nature whilst learning about the great outdoors at the same time. 

What to expect on the trail

Themed panels along the trail are designed to spark curiosity and adventure, complete with fun activities to help children explore the wonders of England's forests and compare them to the Amazon rainforest. With every step, you'll find new ways to experience and appreciate the natural world together.

You can also download our free Feel Good Forest activity pack before you visit.

About the trail route at Haughmond Hill

This trail follows the Geo Trail, a linear route that gradually runs up hill, leading to one of the best views in the area across Shrewsbury. At the end of the trail you'll find a toposcope, doubling as a seat, to help you identify the hills beyond. After taking in the scenery, retrace your steps to return to the car park.
