We are the Shrewsbury Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

An extended version of walk 33 in the '20 More Walks around Shrewsbury ' book.
Starting at the daffodil field at Gatten Valley we climb steadily up to a ridge giving extensive views of Cothercott to one side and the Stiperstones to the other. We then drop down to a road and follow the Shropshire way up to Shepherds's Rock. The walk then continues through Brook Vessons Nature Reserve to the road and back to the car park. Weather permitting the views are outstanding.

Gatten Valley Daffodil Field. Take the Habberley Road out of Pontesbury. After abour 2 miles the road bends left into the village. At the grass triangle in the road take the second exit signposted Westcott and Bridges. Drive up here for about a mile until you get to another grass triangle just passed a house on the left. Turn right here and keep driving until you go over a cattle grid. There is a large gravelled area where we can park about 250 yards further on the left hand side, next to the daffodil field .
