Overview

Chris is leading a figure-of-eight walk starting from the car park, we will head along The Shropshire Way through fields and a couple of small hamlets before picking up The Jack Mytton Way, then back in the direction of Much Wenlock onto the village of Homer and Edge Wood before heading back to town.

 

The walk was very muddy on the recce, so waterproofs and gaiters are recommended.

 

Option to use any of the town's cosy pubs at the end of the walk
