Overview

A leisurely 2.5 mile walk up to Nipstone Rock. We will pause at Nipstone and take in the expansive views over the South Shropshire Hills before descending back to our start point. There will also be the opportunity to learn about the area's rich industrial heritage as we pass some former mine workings.

Following the walk, we will head for a drink, either at The Stiperstones Inn or The Nags Head (Pontesbury).
