Shropshire has over 3,500 miles of rights of way.
A quarter of the county is designated as the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so our long distance routes run through some of the most beautiful and varied landscapes you will find anywhere in Britain. A land with wild borderland hills traversed by Offa’s Dyke to the rolling fields and deep gorges through which the Severn Way passes on its way to Bristol. But it’s not all long distance walks, we have some of the best circular walks in the Country.
Riding Byways and bridleways
Shropshire is blessed with over 600 miles of byways and bridleways, criss-crossing their way through the countryside. And what countryside! In the south we have the horse-friendly peaks of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In the north, a varied lowland of canals, rivers, meres and mosses giving way to the ancient hills of the Shropshire-Wales border. If you want to find out about the best places to walk, trot or canter, this is the site for you. That’s because they have packed it full of information, from where to ride to where to stay.
