Overview

  This walk is a re-run of which a small intrepid group of us did last November in "pea soup" damp mist, so hopefully we will see some stunning views this time.                                                                                         We begin with a gradual climb through woodland of the (walker friendly)  Burwarton Estate taking us to a lovely ridge walk in open heathland.  The route then circles the hill before a climb to Abdon Burf summit,  the highest of the Shropshire hills.  This is then followed by a gradual descent through the woods back to the car park.

Please bring food and drinks for a short elevenses break an lunch.

Sorry no dogs allowed.
