Shropshire Way Guide

The Shropshire Way long distance walk explores the beautiful historic border county of Shropshire. It offers a comprehensive network of route sections that can be tailored to individual requirements, providing opportunities for multi-day walks of varying length, as well as linear day walks linked to public transport. At its heart is Shrewsbury, whose mainline station on the National Rail Network, facilitates easy access from and to anywhere in Britain.
