Shropshire Way

It runs 202 miles (325 km) around the interior of the county in two loops centred on Shrewsbury, with an additional spur to Whitchurch.

[1] The route when marked on a map of the county used to loosely resemble a 'hangman's noose' with the rope dangling from the northern border of Shropshire at Grindley Brook.

In the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty an additional loop on the route runs to Stiperstones, Bishops Castle and Clun linking back to the main route via the River Onny at Little Stretton and the Long Mynd.

The old path was distinctly waymarked with a buzzard symbol in black and white usually easily seen from field edges and across most country.

Extra sections have been added to make it circular in its own right and some original routes have been "tweaked" so they now go to more places of interest.
