Description by the author

[Dutch text below]

I've walked a lot in different parts of England, but nowhere could I make a journey running almost entirely by enclosed pastures and fields, and so giving a unique view of the landscape. Well, that's possible in Shropshire through the "right of ways" which here are usually better preserved than elsewhere in England, and give you access almost anywhere.
This 7,5 miles long walking loop at the edge of the Shropshire Hills Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers not only unique, dozens of panoramas for miles. It also runs for 97 % over "right of ways". A unique hiking experience!

Ik heb reeds heel wat gewandeld in diverse streken van Engeland, maar nergens kon ik een tocht maken die bijna volledig door afgesloten weiden en velden trekt, en zo een uniek zicht op het landschap geeft. Dat kan wel in Shropshire via de “right of ways” die hier, nog meer dan elders in Engeland, meestal goed bewaard zijn en bijna overal toegang verschaffen.
Deze 12 km lange wandellus aan de rand van de Shropshire Hills Area Of Natural Beauty biedt niet alleen unieke, tientallen kilometers verre panorama’s maar loopt ook voor 97 pct via deze “right of ways”. Een unieke wandelervaring!
