Download GPS FileA Wrekin circuit from near Cluddley
Route Outline
The Wrekin is one of a string of volcanic hills stretching from Telford south to Church Stretton near the Long Mynd. Dominating the modern town of Telford, the hill can easily be seen from the north across the flat lands of Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire. Rising quite abruptly from the surrounding countryside it is no surprise that it makes an excellent viewpoint and each year it sees many visitors at its summit. This route follows a quieter approach and provides an excellent half day excursion.
