The Shropshire Way - and Wild Edric's Way by Terry Marsh

The Shropshire Way takes a circular route of 136 miles through one of England's finest counties. It starts and finishes in the county town of Shrewsbury (easily reached by rail and bus), and includes highlights such as the castles at Clun and Stokesay, the famous industrial site of Ironbridge and the lovely old town of Ludlow, often claimed as the most beautiful in Britain. The walking is magnificent throughout and not too strenuous. In addition, the guide includes the shorter Wild Edric's Way, a 49-mile romp over the hills from Church Stretton to Ludlow, including the famous Long Mynd and Stiperstones. Both start and finish are readily accessible by rail. It makes an excellent introduction to the county for those whose time is more limited. Walkers with limited experience of long-distance walking may find Wild Edric's Way a useful introduction before tackling the Shropshire Way in its entirety.
