LEE HILLS AND WESTON HEATH Due to limited parking at Lee Brockhurst please be prepared to car share from Sherrymill Hill.. Parking is just off the A49 on the right immediately over Lee Bridge – Grid ref. SJ 5485 2680. The walk is approximately 5.5 miles. There are only three stiles but a couple of short steep climbs (but not too strenuous). Please note that the route crosses the A49 road. |

| Shropshire Council rights of way
have closed all the footpaths off Greenfoot lane
from 22/06/23 for public safety reasons whilst work is carried out
on the development in the area. There is an alternative for the 1st path on the right 0233/122/ which goes through the cricket ground to the Hatton way. There are no alternatives given for the other 5 rights of way, including the path that crosses the by-pass, part of our Belton bracer walk. The closures will remain in place until July for some paths and December for others. |
