Shropshire Way 4 Craven Arms to Ludlow

Day 4 of the Shropshire Way sees a steep climb to start the day, but ony of about 100m before a more relaxed day sees you descending for most of it and on to the historic market town of Ludlow.

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.
