Overview

Scenic circular walk starting from the free NT car park at Wilderhope Manor, YHA, Longville in the Dale, TF13 6EG. We will walk through woods and fields and along quiet lanes with lovely views towards distant hills on popular parts of The Shropshire Way. There are some short and steep ascents.

Wilderhope Manor is an impressive Tudor mansion now run as a Youth Hostel and event venue. It's where a number of major footpaths and bridleways meet that cross Wenlock Edge and the surrounding hills and valleys.
