Where the lowlands of England meet the hills of Wales, the Welsh Marches of Shropshire and Herefordshire have long been true border country.
With a complex and fascinating history, there are wooded river valleys, ruined castles, moorland uplands and ancient market towns, making this perfect walking country for those who prefer a gentler pace and time to explore along the way. This book features 40 circular walks, with many ideal for families, in the heart of the Welsh Marches, taking in the hills of Shropshire, Mortimer and Clun Forests, and the rolling countryside of the Herefordshire Plain all the way to the slopes of the Black Mountains near the border town of Hay-on-Wye.
The guide covers the area roughly between and to the west of the cities of Shrewsbury and Hereford. Encircling this area are the River Severn and the River Wye, with smaller rivers like the Clun, Teme, Lugg and Arrow serving the local towns. The guide contains forty circular routes in Shropshire, Herefordshire and Powys, ranging in length from 3km to 16km. Most routes are intended as comfortable walks or strolls, with walking generally on well-worn paths, lanes and tracks.
