Overview

From Aston we will cross fields taking a fairly gentle climb up to Hopesay Common. We will then walk along the ridge, with excellent views on a clear day. A stretch of road walking will give us access to different ridge to walk down to Hopesay village. We will then join the Shropshire Way for a short while before taking a track up to Burrow Fort returning to Aston across the fields.
