Craven Arms to Ludlow
A station-to-station walkShropshireWest Midlands
Recommended: So much to see on this gorgeous walk. A great, relaxing route following the well-signed, well-maintained and accessible Shropshire Way, with a detour west to stay away from A-road noise. There is one steep climb up Stoke Wood near Stokesay Castle, a lovely woodland walk at Aldon Gutter, quiet country lanes and field crossings that may get boggy; fairly easy walking after the climb. Follows the Shropshire Way. The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre has a cafe, toilets and museum. Good train service between Craven Arms and Ludlow.
Woodland: a fifth under tree cover.
Lunch: Cafe and toilets at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre and Stokesay Castle. Ludlow is a great town for foodies and markets.
Warnings: Care crossing the busy A road at Stokesay - the only A-road crossing. One steep climb up Stoke Wood. One field near Wetmore may get boggy.
