Overview

Join us for a 10 mile circular walk starting from the Discovery Centre in Craven Arms. We will take in the Onny River, part of the disused Bishops Castle railway line and both Wart Hill and Hopesay Hill. We will follow the Shropshire Way back into Craven Arms where the walk will finish. 

There is approx 1000ft ascent along the route with some steeper sections. We will walk at a comfortable pace for the group. There is some country road walking as well as tracks, paths and fields. 

We will be out for 5 hours so bring food and refreshments to keep you going.
