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.
Please bring a snack and a packed lunch and plenty to drink with you. Good walking boots/shoes are needed as some of the woodland paths are uneven. Remember a hat and sun screen as the weather may be hot and sunny. There are toilets at the beginning and end of the walk at the youth hostel.
Dogs are welcome, and must be on a lead. Some of the fields may contain livestock. Please check with the walk leader if you need any further information. Non members are welcome.
