We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We're over in Shropshire for this one folks, and you're welcome to come along and join us. Let us know beforehand please so that we can look out for you. Cheers.
From Church Stretton we take some delightful woodland paths to Little Stretton before looping around the southern flanks of Ragleth Hill. We'll give the summit a miss on this occasion by heading off into the countryside below before meandering back to Church Stretton. This walk involves lumpy terrain throughout and three short steep sections where poles may be useful.
Oh....nearly forgot! We'll end up in some pub or other after we've finished. Just the one. There's a few to choose from in downtown Church Stretton.😃😋😃
Directions via the M54 and A5:
The start is located close to Church Stretton town centre. Most of you will probably be familiar with this venue.
Via either the A460 or A449 to pick up the M54 westbound and follow to Wellington where the motorway reverts to the A5. Continue on the A5 for a further 10 miles, direction Shrewsbury, to turn left at the third island onto the A49 signed for Leominster initially, and then locally for Church Stretton.
Proceed on the A49 for almost 11 miles to Church Stretton where turn right at the traffic lights onto the B4371 towards the town centre, then 300 yards later turn left into Easthope Road shortly after the pedestrian crossing lights.
In Easthope Road turn right after 150 yards into Lion Meadow where the car park entrance is on your right opposite the Co-op supermarket.
Anglesey Street rail station car park, Hednesford WS12 1AB (adjacent to Hednesford Ex-Servicemens Club, not the Co-op car park) for a prompt 08.30 departure.
The public car park opposite the Co-op supermarket, Lion Meadow, off Easthope Road, Church Stretton, Shropshire. Free on Sunday. Plenty of spaces. Toilets here also.
