Shropshire Council has made an order temporarily prohibiting the use of Footpath 39 (parts) in the Parish of Bridgnorth and Footpath 56 (parts) in the Parish of Worfield. From the southerly point of FP 39 in the wood at grid reference SO 7264 9390 travelling along and including both forks in the FP before it becomes FP56 and continues through the woods to its northerly point at Bromley Road, grid reference SO 7302 9448. A further branch of FP 56 commences in the wood at grid reference SO 7261 9448 and runs in a WSW direction to grid reference SO 7241 9435 where it meets the A442.
An extension has been granted by the Secretary of State allowing the Order to continue to be in force from 18th February 2026 until the 18th February 2028 or until the works are completed whichever is earlier. It is required on the grounds of public health and safety due to parts of the routes eroding near to steep drops.
There is no alternative route available.
