Overview

Walking from Hopesay village we climb steadily up to Burrow Hill Fort for splendid views and a walk around the perimeter of the old fort and walking down to Aston on Clun using paths and tracks. Then its north wards along the valley side for another steady climb up Hopesay Hill. Coming down from the hill we join a minor road for a short way passing the entrance to Wart Hill. (there could be an option for those who want to go up Wart Hill). Finally cutting across by Round Oak to join the path back to Hopesay village.
