A woodland circuit on Haughmond Hill, starting at the Forestry England visitor car park. Follow the pink markers for Henry’s Hike, taking the path south across the central plateau before turning east through the trees. The eastern side gives views towards the Wrekin where the woodland opens. Stay on the marked walking trail at junctions and follow its northern arm back to the cafe and parking area.
Allow around an hour and a quarter for the walk, including a few pauses. Much of the plateau is fairly level, but the paths have exposed roots, rocky patches and short slopes. They can be muddy after rain, so wear shoes with a good grip. This is an unsurfaced forest walk rather than the separate easy access trail.
The car park is paid and uses card or phone payment. There are toilets, picnic tables and a cafe near the start, with separate cafe opening hours. Check the gate closing time before leaving your car and follow any temporary forestry signs.
