Countryside Service

Our Countryside Service looks after several countryside areas within Bridgnorth district, which you can find out more about using the above links.

Through consultation and working with local communities we manage these sites for your enjoyment and to protect wildlife.

Activities

  • Mini beast hunting - search for insects within the grass, under stone and in the trees
  • Pond dipping - take a net and a container and see what you can find
  • Histroy search - find out about past uses of the parks
  • Tracking - look for signs of animal tracks
  • Walks - there are several short walks to enjoy at all sites
  • Cycling - cycle route, Route 45 runs through the park
  • In summer months why not enjoy a picnic in one of our parks? Read our Picnic Safety tips. Please remember to take your rubbish home with you!

School Groups

We also offer school and group visits.

In all the activities the emphasis is very much on the children to discover the environment for themselves, with the help of qualified staff, and to have fun in the process.

You can download a copy of our schools education pack, which contains a brief description of each activity, time to complete, the time of year that the activity is available and the sites at which each activity is available.

If you wish to book a group visit or talk, please contact us on 01746 781192.

Events

The service provides a year round programme of events and activities for all ages.

If you prefer you can download a copy of the Countryside Services Events Guide.
