Stanmore Country Park - Shropshire`s Great Outdoors
Stanmore Country Park
Once known as RAF Bridgnorth, Stanmore Country Park is
the site of a World War II training base. The Country Park
also includes a War Memorial, and offers excellent access
owing to its level terrain. Many of the Camp’s original
tarmac paths still exist making it ideally suitable for
visitors with wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

places the paths follow the tarmac roads of
the original training camp.
