WALK 6

A Taste of the Shropshire Way

7 miles

1,535 feet total ascent

9.30 start time
Check in from 9.00 am at the Church Barn, Church Lane, Bishop’s Castle

We head north-east from the village of Lydham and, passing an intriguing motte-and-bailey castle, drop into the delightful church at More.

Narrow lanes lead us past Linley Hall before we climb up to the famous Beech Avenue. Linley Hall offers us great views and much archaelogical inerest, including a Roman signal station.

After descending to Cold Hill we rejoin the Shropshire Way and follow the rocky Nipstone Ridge (recently cleared of much of its coniferous forest) to our destination, the former mining village of The Bog.

The walk offers a great variety of scenery with splendid view-points and much historical interest. The ascents and descents are not too demanding!
