Overview

This is a delightful walk which will take us from Acton Scott Village Hall, walking anticlockwise across the fields affording excellent views of Wenlock Edge. We will then walk up the north side of Ragleth Hill, descending down the somewhat steep south side, then returning through woods and fields back to the Village Hall. Coffee/tea stop after about an hour and lunch at around 1pm.
