Overview

From the motte and bailey castle at Pulverbatch we head down to cross a road and stream then climb steadily to join the Shropshire Way near The Beeches. After following the SW for a mile or so we pass between Wilderley and Cothercott Hills before dropping down to New Leasowes Farm. A short stretch of road then takes us to a raised track which ends up in Pulverbatch. Mainly grassy paths and a few stiles.
