Overview

The walk takes us across open fields and through woodland towards Chelmick, with good views of the surrounding hills. We then cross Ape Dale to reach Wenlock Edge for our lunch stop at Harton Hollow Nature Reserve. After lunch we continue through Long Coppice for views across Hope Dale before descending from Wenlock Edge and returning to Acton Scott. 

No big hills, just a few short climbs and a slightly slippery descent from Wenlock Edge. Also a few awkward stiles and we may encounter some cattle.
