Shropshire Way 2 Bishop Castle to Clun

Day two of the Shropshire Way starts off in Bishop’s Castle and heads for Offa’s Dyke and the Welsh Border. With names such as Cwm Ffrydd, Llanhedrick and Cefn Einion you’d be forgiven if you had to think what side you’re actually on at times. There’s plenty of ups and downs on the walk, typical of this area.

The Shropshire hills are a convenient get away if you want a hilly walk but the mountains of Snowdonia and the Lakes are too far to travel for the weekend.
