Haughmond Abbey ruins

Stage 10a: Wellington to Haughmond Hill

This stage begins with a new route through Wellington enabling the walker to see the older areas which are now part of Telford New Town. Wellington is a Walkers are Welcome town and has its own Walking Festival in September.

Download a guide for the new route from Ercall Wood, through Wellington to Isombridge. This is a .zip file with two files giving a choice of direction.

Route changes: there are three route changes on this stage, at Hunkington Farm, Hunkington Reservoir and Haughmond Hill. A pdf supplement is available opposite. The gpx file has been amended to reflect this.

Don't miss the viewpoint as you circle over Haughmond Hill. There is also a platform from which to see the huge quarry excavations.

Haughmond Abbey is an English Heritage property which is free to enter.

You are strongly advised to take an OS map and/or a GPS to walk the route. Please note the digital OS maps will show the new Main Route from January 2019.
