The Silkin Way was designated as a north-south footpath, bridleway and cycleway in the 1970s, at a time when much of the development of Telford New Town was in progress. It runs for roughly 13 miles from Coalport in Image to Bratton in Image, often following former railway lines or canal routes. The name refers to Lord (John) Silkin, who was the Labour government Minister for Public Works and also Minister for Planning & Local Government in the early 1970s.
