Winter Walking Weekend Shropshire Hills

February/March 2027

Church Stretton sits between the heather-covered Long Mynd to the west and the striking summits of Caer Caradoc and Hope Bowdler Hill to the east. Rolling farmland, wooded valleys and open ridges make this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a wonderfully varied base for a late-winter walking break.

The town is framed by the Long Mynd, Ragleth Hill, Hope Bowdler Hill and Caer Caradoc. On a clear day the higher ground opens out to far-reaching views towards Wales, the Black Mountains, the Brecon Beacons and the Malvern Hills.

The River Esk flows through the heart of the valley, creating delightful riverside trails, historic crossings and inviting pools along the way.
