Edric's Way

nights - MODERATE
Wild Edric was a
Saxon nobleman with a great deal of land in the Clun and Stokesay areas at
the time of the Norman Conquest. Wild Edric's Way explores this interesting
and unspoilt part of Shropshire. The trail is
49 miles and follows part of the Shropshire Way from Church Stretton to
Ludlow. From Church Stretton Wild
Edric’s Way crosses the Long Mynd to
the Stiperstones. From here the trail
passes through Bishop’s Castle, and then follows a section of Offa’s
Dyke to Clun and on past Stokesay Castle to Ludlow. An additional night can
be booked at the end to spend a little more time exploring Ludlow.
