National Cycle Route 45

National Cycle Route 45 runs alongside the SVRSevern Valley Railway from Hampton Loade Station towards Country Park Halt. The Cycle Route leaves the SVRSevern Valley Railway a short distance before the Halt, turning away into the main area of the Country Park. However a footpath continues to the Halt itself.

The Cycle Route was built by Shropshire County Council in 2003. The SVRSevern Valley Railway was initially opposed to its construction as it would be on the SVRSevern Valley Railway’s land and in close proximity to the line. However agreement was reached after considerable discussion with the Council, and today the route is popular with both cyclists and walkers.

There are a number of farm crossings between Hampton Loade and Country Park which also cross the Cycle Route.
