Stage 14: Llanymynech to Nesscliffe
Live firing that will be taking place in Nesscliff Training Area between Monday 20 and Friday 24 January 2025. During this time, red flags will be displayed on the boundary in order to warn the general public that intend to cross the PRoW. For safety reasons, a live (service personnel) sentry will be positioned at each point where a PRoW enters the Defence Training Estate. The sentry will allow access to walkers once they have confirmation from the Demolition Safety Officer that all weapon systems have been cleared and it is safe to proceed.
The Argae along the River Vyrnwy
The argae is a flood defence along quite a stretch of the River Vyrnwy as you walk this stage. A warning that in winter after heavy rainfall some areas can be flooded.
The unusual timber framed church of St Peter's at Melverley stands right on the river bank . The Shropshire Way joins the Severn Way here and leaves the village crossing a stile at the road. The lanes can be used as an alternative if the fields are wet. A short deviation to The Royal Hill pub is a pleasant location by the river to pause for refreshment.
