Overview

A joint walk with the Ramblers, Black Country Young Walkers Group. Starting from Church Stretton we cross countryside to reach Hope Bowlder, along the ridge to Battle stone and down to Cardington for lunch at the Royal Oak pub. After lunch we make our way to the summit of Caer Caradoc with excellent views across the whole of Shropshire on a clear day. Then make our way back to Church Stretton.
