Walk Description:

This was my favourite circular route during the first pandemic lockdown. It is varied, has some fantastic panoramic views of the Shropshire Hills, Wenlock Edge, and towards Craven Arms and beyond. Starting in the hamlet of Bushmoor, it takes in the further hamlets of Woolston, Leamoor Common, and The Wettles via a Green Lane, fields, pastures and lanes.

Nordic Walx are simply sociable Nordic walks in a mixed ability group, enjoying beautiful locations in and around South Shropshire and beyond. Most routes are circular and will try to make the most of the beautiful surroundings.

This is a mixed terrain walk. Whilst much of the walk is suitable for most, there are some trickier parts. The section from Bushmoor to Woolston is all uphill, and the green lane is very rough under foot in parts, and can be very muddy. There are also a couple of tricky stiles, and one short, very narrow, gated path section.

Dress to suit the weather, including sunscreen, if necessary, and bring water.

We are adhering to Covid-19 protocols. Please use your own poles and bring your own water.

Please do not book on for for a walk if you think you may have symptoms, or do have symptoms or have been in contact with some one who has symptoms. Thank you for your understanding. 

Photos may be taken during the walk for use on the WALX in the Marches website, on social media, and occasionally, shared more widely with WALX/Nordic Walking UK. If you are not happy for your image to be used in any of these ways, please let me know.

Location Notes:

Bushmoor is a hamlet off the A49 3.5 miles north of Craven Arms and 4.5 miles south of Church Stretton. Parking at the side of the lane on verges only, preferably just between the lane at the bottom of the hill and the driveway to the poultry farm (see marker on satellite picture or What 3 Words) Meeting point will be here too. No toilets. If you need to borrow poles, please ensure that you request these in advance for this venue.
