Shropshire’s Great Outdoors

With 23% of the county designated as a national landscape it's not surprising that visits to the natural environment in Shropshire are estimated to bring in over £100m per year.

As a county we have one of the largest rights of way networks in the country, with our 5600km of footpaths being the equivalent of the distance between Shrewsbury and New York.

This project will be reviewing and auditing the routes currently promoted to walking, cycling and horse riding visitors, and updating and relaunching Shropshire’s Great Outdoors website.

The project will also be developing projects to improve accessibility to the great outdoors, and promoting outdoor activities to a wider range of participants.
