South Shropshire has traditionally attracted student groups from schools, colleges and universities keen to use its sites for training and project works. A number of the older classic localities and sequences are now incorporated into Geological Trails, specifically the Ercall Quarries of The Wrekin, the Onny Valley Trail, the Mortimer Forest Trail and, most recently, the Terne Bank Trail at Ludlow, all with descriptive booklets or leaflets. If these trails are viewed as introductory then this guide can be considered as a logical follow-up both extending their content and encouraging wider exploration.
