Overview

We start at Hope Bowdler village and make our way along country lanes, woodland paths and fields to Ragdon where we join the Cross Britain Way. From Sheep Dip we make the steep but short ascent to Ragleth Hill and enjoy stunning views over the Long Mynd and Wenlock Edge.

In the woods around Hazler Hill the first bluebells are starting to appear as well as many other beautiful wild flowers.

We pass the Gaer Stone and walk over Hope Bowdler hill with its ancient field system before making our way back to the starting point along Hope Batch
