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

One of the Shropshire Way Festival of Walks for 2025 linking two short sections of the way around Haughmond Hill and Ebury Hill just outside Shrewsbury. The walk is about 8 miles along forest tracks, field paths and approximately half a mile of a minor road with 174m / 570ft of ascent. We'll start from the Forestry England car park on Haughmond Hill (all-day ticket £4.40 per car) at 10 o'clock and follow part of Wilfred (Owen)'s walk to a viewpoint before descending to join the Shropshire Way around the base of the hill, through Abbey Woods, Ebury Hill fort and campsite, and back via Haughmond Abbey ruins.
About half the walk is on well defined forest tracks. There is a half-mile section along a minor road and the rest is over field paths with a few stiles and some uneven ground.
We'll stop for coffee and lunch breaks so bring drinks, packed lunch and something to sit on (mat or plastic bag).
There is a cafe with toilets in the car park at the start and finish.
