We are the Mortimer Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Donald Robertson-Adams
Starting from St John The Baptist Church, Bishops Castle, we will head off to join the Shropshire Way. Dropping down a few fields we will then use the footpaths to cross over and up to Blakeridge Wood and eventually walk along it, on the lorry roads. We then pass alongside Goat House Dingle before descending to re-join the Shropshire Way. We go on to skirt Henley Wood and pass the various Woodbatches before heading home along field paths.
There are a number of stiles and a variety of livestock, but the various herds of cattle were not interested.
If you would like to join this walk, please book a place with the leader, if you are unable to attend please cancel your booking so that someone else can take your place. If you turn up without booking, we may have to turn you away.
Bring a packed lunch.
Car sharing is encouraged to minimise car parking, fuel costs and carbon footprint.
Assistance dogs only.
Starting from Bishops Castle, Shropshire. Most will arrive via turning onto the A489 to the north of Craven Arms. By following the BC signs you should eventually turn right onto the B4384 into BC. That road takes you to the bottom of the main street. St John the Baptist church is visible to the left at that junction. Parking is free in BC. If you cannot find anywhere on-street then there is usually free parking a joining the Livestock Market (which you may have passed on your right, opposite some other areas on the left with large tree trunks). It is a short walk then to the start. We shall assemble by the lychgate at the church. Exp 216
