Beth

January 26, 2022, Loop from Much Wenlock - babywearing friendly

A gem of a walk! Taking in the historic buildings in the town, through a beautiful tree avenue, past windmill hill, up to Wenlock Edge with stunning views of The Wrekin and beyond, dropping back down through woods with a view over the town to the church. This walk is babywearing friendly. Intermediate level due to uneven ground and short steep section.
