We are pleased to welcome a walking event organised by Hospice of the Good Shepherd from 9.30am until 3.30pm on Sunday 12 July.

The walk will use a section of towpath between Backford Bridge 133, and Rowton Bridge 120, on the Shropshire Union Canal.

The towpath will remain open although there may be slight delays due to walkers on the towpath. 

Please proceed with care and follow the guidance of the stewards.
