A narrow corridor from the centre of Whitchurch westwards that once formed the route of the Whitchurch Arm of the Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Union has been designed the Whitchurch Waterway Country Park and protected from development. The vegetation is a mix of young deciduous woodland and rough grass, with several paths including the start of the Sandstone Trail. Unfortunately, the popularity of the area with walkers, cyclists and dogs has led to considerable amounts of litter and dog faeces
