Walk Description:

 

This is the longer version of the Town and Country route. This mixed-terrain walk takes you out to Little Stretton on flat tarmac (great for practising your technique), and back via the hills above Little and Church Stretton, and on through Rectory Wood. Super views, a number of hills (some steep) and some stiles and gates.

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.

Location Notes:

Meet in the small car park at the Church Street entrance to Rectory Field, next to the Parish Centre. Free parking available in the Rectory Field car park off Cunnery Road, or free on-street parking in Churchway (check restrictions) or nearby.
