16. Telford Coronation Walk 22 Madeley: 3 miles

One of 23 walks established by the Friends of the Telford T50 50 Mile trail in 2023, this short walk mainly uses well-made paths to tour interesting parts of Madeley, Although the route is largely on good paths there is a narrow bridge with a big step to negotiate and another narrow gap making the route unsuitable for most pushchairs and for wheelchairs.
