Whether new to recreational walking or an old hand, these routes are a
superb introduction to the Shropshire Hills. The walks vary from 2.5 to
8.5 miles in length. Some cross rolling farmland and leafy woodland,
others traverse the open moors, including magnificent ridge walks with
panoramic views.
Each walk has clear route directions and
1:25,000 scale Ordnance Survey mapping, with local information and
points of historical or environmental interest along the way provided.
Each walk entry begins with practical information including distance and
time, terrain, start point with grid reference, OS Explorer map sheet
number, refreshment option, and public transport details if available.
The book is illustrated with numerous colour photographs and includes an
introductory chapter.
