Overview

Join our welcoming and friendly Group for some pleasant, relaxing, easy-paced walk and chat in the hills above the small vibrant Shropshire border town of Bishops Castle. You will be treated to magnificent views all around of the Shropshire Hills, the Camlad river valley and far-reaching rolling countryside of the Welsh Marches.

Starting in the town of Bishop's Castle, we ascend through the pastures above the town taking in the stunning views of Corndon and Roundton Hills and beneath them the serene Camlad Valley. The route winds round and reaches the edge of the Kerry Ridgeway and the village of Bishop's Moat with its 12th century earthworks then circles back through more undulating landscapes back down through rich farmland to return to the town.
