Recreation at Eastridge
 

Eastridge Woods is a gem in the crown of the the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This hill-top woodland has stunning views across the surrounding countryside and some great, raw mountain bike trails for those who likes roots rocks and a little bit of mud.

How to get there:

Eastridge is part of The Marches. Minsterley is the nearest town or village.

From Shrewsbury take the A488 to Minsterley. In Minsterley turn left onto Callow lane just before the pub. Continue to the T junction and turn right, bear right when the road forks and take the first turning on the right up a narrow lane.
