The Wenlock Walks are five short circular walks which start at the clock tower in Much Wenlock square, opposite the Guildhall and the museum. None of them is more than 3 miles, and each one can be walked in two hours or less. Each walk takes you out of the town and into our glorious countryside. They can get muddy so you’ll need strong shoes, but once you’ve walked all these you’ll want to walk some more!
This starts by taking you up a narrow wooded gully, out into open field, and then up a further hill with views of the Clee Hills. You come back down the hill into Much Wenlock, with a long, pleasant sight of the town below you.
Much Wenlock
The historic town of Much Wenlock has much to offer with shops, restaurants and pubs to refresh the weary walker. In the town museum you can learn where to find fossils and the social history of the town from the arrival of the Romans in the 1st century through to the Victorians. And of course how the town inspired the birth of the modern Olympic Games.
