Sunday Walk: Wenlock Edge
(log in to member's area for restricted information such as mobile numbers)
Wenlock Edge runs from Much Wenlock to Craven Arms to in the Shropshire Hills AONB. Our walk will follow the 17 mi limestone escarpment along the footpaths of the Shropshire Way and the Jack Mytton Way long distance routes. This will be a linear walk so we will need at least two cars.
We will start at 8.00am from the Corvedale Road car park, Craven Arms, Shropshire, SY7 9NE. This is a free car park open 24hrs.
Our finish point will be the National Trust car park at Much Wenlock TF13 6AS. This is also a free car park but is locked at dusk. Dusk will be around 6.30pm.
Our route will take us up onto the Edge with an ascent of around 150m then it winds its way north along the escarpment and through the forest. The walking should be relatively easy along well marked trails with no significant ascents.
