Geocache Description:

Severn Valley Country Park.

Inspired by LollyBob to add more caches to this already popular series.

THE HIGHLEY TRAIL from Colliery Bridge.

An area of some 126 acres of woodland, meadows and wetland, dedicated for the quiet enjoyment of the countryside by the public, the Severn Valley Country Park spans both sides of the River Severn between the villages of Highley and Alveley. The area was once the site of the Highley and Alveley Collieries which ceased production in 1969 after almost a hundred years of mining.

Following the closure of the mine, the spoil heaps and land lay derelict until 1986.
Bridgnorth District Council embarked on an ambitious project to reclaim the land.
The park opened in 1992 and is now managed by Shropshire Council.

Thanks to Shropshire Council for allowing Geocaches to be placed in the Park
And the Rangers for all their assistance.
