Wild Edric’s Way
Wild Edric was a Saxon who resisted the attempts of William the Conquerer to tame the borderland between lowland England and mountainous Wales. This superb walk explores the varied and beautiful scenery of Shropshire's hill country where Wild Edric fought the Normans.
From Church Stretton Wild Edric's Way crosses the heathery plateau of the Long Mynd to the sleepy hamlet of Bridges. It follows the rock-strewn ridge of the Stiperstones past the Devil's Chair, where Edric appears when England is threatened, before descending to the attractive little town of Bishop's Castle. From here, the trail follows a medieval drovers' way and a superb section of Offa's Dyke to Clun, a charming little town dominated by its ruined Norman castle. The route then heads over the spectacular Iron Age hillfort of Bury Ditches to Craven Arms and Stokesay Castle, a unique fortified manor house, before following field and riverside paths to the historic town of Ludlow, the Capital of the Marches.
