Overview

The walk uses tracks and field paths, with short descent /ascent to access Wenlock Edge. Some nice views and Easthope village has pretty church. The cafe will be open on our return to Wilderhope Manor. The building is owned by National Trust but used/managed by YHA. There is also an opportunity to have a look around this charming Elizabethan Manor house. NT cards needed to view.
