Walk Description:

An attractive mixed terrain walk, largely on bridleways and footpaths, through upland farmland, connecting the two hamlets of Bushmoor and Whittingslow. The panoramic views of the surrounding hills and countryside on all sides make this walk particularly special. Gears 1 and 2, hillwork, and a number of stiles. Part of the route is on a fairly neglected footpath, so be prepared for contending with vegetation, and not the best of stiles; but the route is an interesting one, and the views make this all worthwhile! The route can be boggy under foot in places too, and owing to being on farmland, can be very wet and muddy, particularly by gates, owing to livestock.

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 countryside around us.

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.
