Snailbeach, Earl's Hill, Pontesbury Round

Description

This anticlockwise trail loop links Snailbeach, Habberley, Earl’s Hill, and Pontesbury, taking in a varied landscape of woodland, pasture, and open hill. The terrain ranges from narrow, uneven tracks to wider bridleways and field crossings, with several steady climbs, including a notable ascent around Ear’s Hill. Paths can be muddy in places, especially through low-lying ground and woodland. The route provides a good mix of runnable sections and slower, more technical patches. It’s a rewarding circuit through quiet Shropshire countryside with changing scenery and a sense of distance despite its moderate length.
