Other walks in the area
The Long Mynd, Church Stretton, Wenlock Edge to Much Wenlock
A long walk, but mainly downhill. Beautiful & with old railway interest on Wenlock Edge around Presthope. Largely following the Jack Mytton way. Reduce the climbing by taking the east option just south of Church Stretton.
The Stiperstones and Blakemoor Flat from the Knolls
A short walk in the Shropshire Hills that provides some wonderful views. The Stiperstones have a rocky quartzite ridge and this provides a dramatic backdrop to the walk.
The Hollies & Poles Coppice from near Habberley
This Shropshire walk explores the countryside to the north of the Stiperstones. The route is generally on well marked paths and tracks. One of the highlights of the walk is the area known as the Hollies which is home to some of the oldest Holly trees in the UK, with some dating back over 400 years.
The Wrekin from near Cluddley
This Shropshire walk takes the direct approach to the summit of the Wrekin near Telford. The views are good especially on clear days and it makes a perfect half day walk.
A Wrekin circuit from near Cluddley
An ascent of the Wrekin, near Telford, makes an excellent half day walk. This route offers good views over the Shropshire countryside. It must be noted that there are two short but steep sections of ascent onto the main ridge but the views are outstanding on a clear day and worth the effort.
Offa’s Dyke No3 (Monument)
A little easy walk taking in some of Offa’s Dyke path mid Wales and some beautiful scenery.
Such an unspoilt walk / area with the entire walk.
Wildlife included Red Kites which were flying very close to us, a selection of Eurasian birds, rabbits & the usual sheep which we see a lot of in this area.
The route is very well sign posted over the hills…
This walk is rated moderate as there are some hilly sections that can be difficult for some people.
Wales to England & back again!
A nice testing walk up some steep hills... starting as you walk north out of Presteigne on a road that the border runs along climbing up to see some fantastic panoramic views at The Warren. Once you leave the road, the ground is a bit lumpy heading east for a short distance before heading down towards The Globe woods which are a delightful view with rolling countryside.
The path is well marked but with not much traffic, the flora is quite wild with bracken 6ft tall in places...
Head down towards the Stapleton ruins which are not accessible to the public but a beautiful view from a distance
Presteigne Loop
A delightful easy walk around the historic town of Presteigne taking in some beautiful countryside getting very close to the local sheep / cows and we saw a couple of rabbits along the way.
Part of the route follows the River Lugg (Powys) in which you can stand on a bridge with one foot in England & one foot in Wales!
