Main access trail from Uffington (end of the Off Road Cycle Path from Shrewsbury NCN81) to Haughmond Abbey. From there a short climb uphill on the main road and a turn right at top leads to main Haughmond Hill Carpark. The exit from this trail onto road is quite blind, take care. Alternatively use the verge to ride or walk up the hill and then turn right at top. The trail has one or two roots in places but these are easily avoided.
