Book Description

Britain's best loved walking guides brings you a brand new Pathfinder® Guide to Shropshire & Staffordshire Walks containing 28 fabulous walks exploring the unspoilt rural landscapes of Shropshire and Staffordshire from the Welsh borders to the fringes of the Peak District, and from the mosses and meres near the Cheshire border to Cannock Chase and the Shropshire Hills. The walks range in length from 3.5 to 9 miles and in typical Pathfinder® Guide style offer something for all tastes and abilities. With Pathfinder® Guide to Shropshire & Staffordshire Walks, you can enjoy the landscape that inspired AE Housman, Arnold Bennett and George Eliot, exploring routes from Ludlow, Knighton, Church Stretton, Ironbridge and Ellastone, among many others. The variety of walking on offer includes secluded wooded gorges at Badger Dingle and the Dane valley; gentle walks across the tranquil countryside of the Shropshire plain and undemanding towpath walking along the canals and waterways of the region; to more energetic rambles above the Manifold valley in the Staffordshire Peak District and hills of the Welsh border country including Offa's Dyke, the Long Mynd, Brown Clee, Stiperstones and Caer Caradoc and the Cardington Hills. Sleepy-thatched villages, engaging market towns, the birthplace of the industrial revolution, history, wildlife and inspirational views are all in this new edition of Pathfinder® Guide Shropshire & Staffordshire Walks.
