We start by gently descending from Haughmond Hill down to Astley and Shawbury Heath. Passing by Grinshill and Action Reynald we get to Moreton Corbett after 12 miles. We’ll take a short break to admire the castle then carry on to Stanton upon Hine, High Hatton, Ellerdine Heath, Ellerdine, High Ercall, Roddington, Wittinton and then up the hill (4.3%) to Upton Magna back to Haugmond Hill CP. Refreshment stop at Oakdale Nursery.

The ride is along quiet country roads with occasional crossings across main roads. The terrain is undulating throughout. Total ascent 816’ and descent -844’. There are a couple of sections of unpaved rough lanes (total 1.2 miles)

Please ensure you have a road worthy bike, along with a spare inner tube of the correct size for your bicycle wheel. Don’t rely on a puncture repair kit. Experience shows it’s far quicker to simply change out for a new tube then do your repair work at home! Don’t panic about punctures, we can help if needed.
Cycle Helmets are compulsory.

We never leave anyone behind. *** Any questions you would like to ask, please do not hesitate to get in touch. ***
