There is no car park at this location but parking is permitted on Golf Links Lane. Please park safely and considerately so as not to obstruct the road or house entrances. Park on the north side of the motorway bridge in the residential area and walk along to the meeting point. There is no parking on the south side of the motorway bridge.
Leave the M54 at either junction 6 (if coming from the east) or junction 7 (if coming from the west). If using junction 6, leave the motorway and at the exit roundabout turn north along Whitchurch Drive, signposted Wellington A5223. At the first roundabout after 300 metres continue straight on along Whitchurch Drive, signposted Princess Royal hospital A5223. At the next roundabout turn left signposted Wellington A5061. Keep in the two left lanes which soon merge and head along Bennett’s Bank, which after the traffic lights becomes Watling Street. Continue ahead passing more traffic lights at the Cock Hotel onto Holyhead Road. DO NOT turn left along Lime Kiln Lane at pedestrian lights near a black and white half-timbered building on the left. Soon pass a brown sign for Sunnycroft (National Trust) and after 100 metres turn left into Golf Links Lane. A brown sign indicates Wrekin Golf Club and on the left is a blue Low Bridge warning sign. The motorway bridge is 0.5km along the lane.
​
If using junction 7, give way at the end of the slip road and turn onto the B5061 towards Wellington (a left turn if coming from the west). Truck on into Wellington, going ahead at traffic lights and remaining on B5061. Pass the Wickets Inn on the left and after 200 metres turn right down Golf Links Lane (Low Bridge sign at the junction). The motorway bridge is 0.5km along the lane.
​
Do not rely on the postcode to guide you to the exact meeting point for a foray. Postcodes in rural areas often cover a large area. The OS grid reference is more precise and unchanging. What3Words is also more precise, and the detailed instructions should also help to pinpoint the location.
​
Beginners are welcome at all forays.​

Please read the Foray Risk Assessment before attending. It is advisable to confirm with the leader that the foray is taking place, as on extremely rare occasions forays have had to be changed at short notice. Please email the Secretary for more details.
