Shipley Glen & Trench Meadows

We will make our way up the path beside the Shipley Glen Tramway, to the Glen where there is a café with toilets. (Unfortunately Tuesday is maintenance day, and the tramway is not able to open for us).  We can look around the garden of the Bracken Hall Countryside Centre, ( the centre itself will probably not be open).  After which we will make our way down through the Glen to Trench Meadows which is an SSSI. Although too late for the orchids there are a number of interesting grasses to be seen.  We will then return to the minibus via the riverside to Roberts Park, where there should be another café and toilets. Parking is in the car park next to Salts’ School near the bottom of the tramway. Walk 2 to 3 miles.
