We are the Telford & East Shropshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from the C16th Wilderhope Manor, now a YHA, we walk along the top of Wenlock Edge through Coates Wood, along the Jack Mytton Way and Cross Britain Way, then descend towards Rushbury and Gretton across fields and through villages and along quiet lanes. There are some outstanding views towards the Hope Bowdler Hills, Sharp Stones and The Long Mynd while crossing Ape Dale towards Cardington. The first two thirds are mostly downhill, or gently undulating, with a short uphill stretch near the end to return to Wilderhope.
There may be some muddy sections across recently ploughed and sown fields depending on recent weather conditions. There a a number of stiles. This is the same route as Karen's recent walk with the Shrewsbury Group. Please bring a packed lunch, drink and snack. Toilets are available at the start and end but not on the route. Please contact the leader in advance if you want to car share.
Car sharers leave 9.30am from Forge Retail Park, off Colliers Way, opposite furniture village, by steps under green fire assembly point.
Walk starts from the free car park outside Wilderhope Manor YHA, Longville in the Dale, Much Wenlock TF13 6EG
