Oswestry Ramblers welcome people who enjoy walking and the countryside. We walk twice a week mainly in Shropshire and Wales and help improve local footpaths.

Starting from Leebotwood village hall we head east across fields, quiet lanes and bridleways towards The Lawley – a smooth, slender and characterful hill. Not overly technical nor narrow, the free-striding ridge will afford us some far-reaching views (weather permitting.)
A short section on the ascent requires a little strenuous effort and a short section of the descent is steep - hence this is a Moderate Plus grade walk. However, the Lawley offers glorious glimpses of the Stretton Hills, the Long Mynd and beyond…and is well worthy of its status as one of Shropshire’s best walks.
Trekking poles will assist and everyone can take their time on the ascent/descent. The hill is exposed to the elements, so please be prepared for either wind, rain or sun…or all three!
Both outward and return sections of the route on lower-lying land can be very wet and very muddy!
Please bring provisions for X3 main stops – coffee break, short drink break before the ascent and lunch stop just beyond the top-point on the hill, if conditions allow.
Optional post-walk refreshments in the Pound Inn opposite the village hall.
