Route & Waymarking Changes

The southern “Shropshire Hills” Section from the Stiperstones to Lutwyche Hall on Wenlock Edge has been extensively upgraded by Shropshire County Council in 2008.

The route has new stiles, gates, finger posts and way markers installed and many path improvements were undertaken. There are also minor alterations to the route that take it to new places like the hill fort of Bury Ditches and the top of Brown Clee. The section from Bridges to the Long Mynd gliding club over Adstone Hill is no longer be used as part of the way. Instead the walk goes along the Portway via Robin Hood's Butts and Pole Cottage to the Gliding Club.

New links have also been added from Wilderhope Manor on Wenlock Edge to both the Long Mynd, via Church Stretton, and to Craven Arms. There are also be 6 shorter easier access circular walks for people who do not have the time or ability to walk the whole route.
