Overview

This walk starts on the Old Shropshire Way and is on fairly level farmland tracks up to our elevenses break.  

After a gradual ascent followed by a short steeper section we skirt the village of Knowbury, hopefully providing great views into the Shropshire Hills, Herefordshire and on a clear day the Brecon Beacons.

We then descend to a low level ridge picking up the New Shropshire Way climbing gradually onto Caynham Camp Hill Fort before returning to the car park.

There are a few stiles and please bring food and drink for a short elevenses stop and lunch break.

Sorry but only assistance dogs allowed on this walk.
