Bishops Castle, Shropshire

This is basically a re-run of a previous walk last November affected by Storm Darragh. We will start from the car park in Bishops Castle where our route will take us along The Shropshire Way passing Henley Wood then into Knuck Wood then through Churchtown Wood before descending into Churchtown hamlet where we will stop for lunch. Following that we will climb up Offa's Dyke passing nearby Edenhope HIll onto Nut Wood and then onto the Kerry Ridgeway along a country lane to Bishops's Moat. Then we will descend passing through Upper and Lower Woodbatch on our way back to Bishops Castle where there is an option to visit any of the pubs at the end of the walk.
Additional Notes:
Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids.

Waterproofs and gaiters are recommended as some parts may be muddy if there has been any recent rainfall.

Not suitable for dogs.
