Also known as Wild Edric's Way, the Shropshire Hills Walk is an engaging walking holiday through the county of Shropshire, which straddles the border between England and Wales. This circular route begins at Church Stretton in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, before traversing undulating terrain, following medieval drovers' roads, passing through the centre of the Welsh Marches and even crossing part of the Offa's Dyke Path.
Incorporating a long stint on the Shropshire Way, there is plenty of fascinating history to uncover, including a handful of ancient castles and iron age hillforts, as well as the old Shropshire towns and villages encountered along this quiet trail.
Traversing the Shropshire hills and enjoying far-reaching views across the county and over to Wales.
Admiring the ancient Clun castle and Stokesay castle, and learning about their turbulent history.
Crossing the iconic Offa's Dyke Path and catching a glimpse of King Offa's famous ancient landmark.
