This walk starts at the bus station and goes towards the north of town, past the fire station and up Mound Road. Half a mile up Mount Road, turn left onto a footpath (this is a very interesting bit as you dog leg a few times and go over a stream). Then up into open fields, with lovely views and you can see Oswestry on your left below. Turn back into a beautiful old drover’s lane and follow this into town (this is always muddy).
