Shropshire Way 7a Wenlock Edge

This is an alternative seventh day for the Shropshire Way, ending instead in Craven Arms rather than Church Stretton. This means you could do the route in a series of smaller loops.

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.
