Closed or disrupted routes
Severn Trent are laying a new section of pipework which passes through the Baddesley Clinton and Packwood estates. Work on National Trust land will take approximately 6 months from February - July 2025. Some routes are closed or disrupted during this time and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Where possible, diversions will be put in place along the existing Rights of Way across the wider estate. Visitor walking routes across the parkland will be unaffected by this work and remain open as normal. If you have any further questions, please talk to the Welcome team on arrival.
