A 5.5 mile moderate walk to see the Gatten Valley daffodil field (Walk 33 from the Shrewsbury Ramblers' book of 20 new walks). The uphill stretches are short, if quite sharp, interspersed with easier level tracks and lanes. The views of Cothercott, the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones are stunning. Last year there were plenty of daffodils still in bloom. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.
