Overview

A delighful walk starting at Mainstone Village Hall we are on the Shropshire Way over to Churchtown. We than climb up on the Offa's Dyke route via Dog and Duck Cottage to the Kerry Ridgeway. Following the Ridgeway eastward we then head south via Horseshoe Coppice to pick up the Shropshire Way again back to Mainstone.

Two steep ascents and one steep descent make poles useful but a fairly flat middle section of 1.5 miles. Spring flowers, good views and only 5 stiles.
