The Geopark Way at Dudmaston

Starting in Bridgnorth, Shropshire the trail winds its way through the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark for 109 miles before reaching its end point at Gloucester cathedral. Approximately a quarter of the trail is in Shropshire.

The Geopark Way long distance walking trail was conceived from the aspiration to highlight geology, landscape and associated heritage within the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark (AMHG) and to make these accessible to all.

Linking geological sites of interest the Geopark Way trail winds its way for 109 miles from Bridgnorth, Shropshire alongside rivers, through forests, along ridge-tops and across heathlands, whilst the associated 136 page guidebook interprets the sites and vistas seen along the route. Alongside the geological interpretation the guide draws attention to examples of how geology has played a significant part in influencing the wildlife, archaeology, social and industrial history of the area.

The trail guide conveniently splits the Geopark Way trail into 17 comfortable day walks; each with its own detailed map. A slim supplementary booklet details useful information on public transport routes, tourist amenities and attractions, further geological walks and countryside sites along the Geopark Way.
