Overview

A scenic circular walk starting from Upton Magna, following part of the Shropshire Way up Haughmond Hill, and lovely views to the Shropshire Hills, returning through woodland and past the oldest cruck cottage in Europe, and with the opportunity to see wall paintings in St Lucia's Church.  This is walk number 23 of the "20 More Walks around Shrewsbury" leaflet published by Shrewsbury Ramblers Group.

The 6 mile walk is on field paths, across woodland, and along quiet country lanes.  There is one steep incline.
