Walks with Oswestry Ramblers

Dear Blogger

It's warming up and the days are longer - time to get out and about! Come and walk with Oswestry Ramblers and make new friends. You don't have to be a member, you're welcome to try us out (but we do ask that you join once you've been out with us 3 times). We're a friendly group and we like to chat as we go along. Here's where we're off to in the next couple of weeks:

Sunday 3 May
Non-members welcome

A 6.3-mile easy level walk from Wem. Heading out of Wem passing Lowe Hall (Judge Jeffery connection), onwards towards the Moat House. Back via the Ditches Hall (built 1622 half timbered) and Belle Vue. Mainly footpaths across fields, some lanes and roads through town. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.

Thursday 7 May
Non-members welcome

A 6-mile easy walk with 9 stiles and a gentle pull up from the extraordinary Sundorne Arch, over fields to Haughmond Abbey where there is seating for a combined coffee and lunch stop, with time to look around before finding our way back down to Uffington and the river Severn, along a wooded section of the Shropshire Way. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch. For full details see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/haughmond-hill-and-abbey

Sunday 10 May
Non-members welcome

It is a moderate 6.5 miles and 949ft of ascent with ups and downs weaving around the Peckforton Hills particularly using the Sandstone Trail. Good views in clear weather. Some walking on roads but usually quiet. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch. For full details see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/peckforton-hills-1

Sunday 17 May
Non-members welcome

A 7-mile moderate walk with 1100ft total ascent. We walk from Welshpool to Y Golfa which has some steep sections but these will be walked slowly with occasional breaks, as the  360 degree views from Golfa Hill are spectacular. The final section of the walk continues along Glyndwr's Way and  heads back to Llanerchydol Hall  on a lovely downhill path and finally back to the Raven Pub. Please bring lunch, snacks and drinks for the two stops we will take. Additional short water stops will be built into the walk as required, if it is a hot day.
