We'd been dreading installing this stile:- well off the road, across muddy fields, through two gates where cows congregate and the site itself - an 8ft thick overgrown bramble hedge with the old dilapidated stile to get out - Ugh! It's on the footpath between Soulton...

Water, water everywhere - so installing stiles and gates was out of the question. Time to catch up on some outstanding business - finish waymarking the pending Wem Walk 10. It wasn't exactly warm and the wind didn't help but at least in didn't rain.   Four hardy...

Sunday 18th Januarry 2026 was the day Wem Walks 9 & 10 were validated - by having some hardy souls from outside our area walk the walks and prove there are no major problems. In spite of the questionable weather - it didn't actually pour with rain - a group of 16...

Those of you who avidly follow our activities may remember we were finalising Wem Walk 10. Well, there was only one task remaining before we published - adding the sixth stile, at Brockhurst Farm.   Last Monday the weather was fair and five of us loaded the cars...

Here are a few snowy photos from the forthcoming Wem Walk 10 which will hopefully be published soon. This is a circular walk from Wem to Barkers Green and then onto Brockhurst Farm. It then returns to Wem via Aston, Church Lane and Station Road.

Over the last two months we have worked over a hundred hours revitalising a footpath that runs between Aston Hall and Brockhurst Farm to the east of Wem. This section will be part of a future Wem Walk and was particularly in need of some renewal. We have added steps,...

This December, Wem Parish Paths Partnership (Wem P3) is inviting everyone to join three accessible walks around Wem—perfect for enjoying the festive lights, getting some gentle exercise, and connecting with your community. The walks are part of Walks Around Wem, a P3...

At the request of Wem Rural Parish Council a couple from the Wem P3 Group went to the Tilly Raven and attached a defibrillator housing to the outside wall of the pub. At the time of writing the defibrillator has not yet been activated and this process is in the hands...

This week, a small group of P3ers took on the clearing of overgrowth along the popular route heading north to Reeves Wood Yard. Thanks to their efforts, the path is now shorts-friendly!

The forecast said it was going to rain later this morning, so everyone who actually read Saturday’s email properly turned up early. I didn’t — so of course, I was late! Sorry everyone!   The idea was to get the job done before the rain hit and finish early, but...

With a few of the crew tied up with other commitments, we could only muster three pairs of hands this week. Stiles don’t install themselves, so under a blanket of mist, the three of us met early and headed out to Upper Lacon Farm, to the eastern end of the rerouted...

Following a request from a local landowner, this morning we headed out towards Aston to install a new stile near Brockhurst Farm. The old stile was barely recognisable, no more than just a couple of bits of rotten wood in the corner of a field, with the new stile in...
