Explore the Ashes Hollow Loop
Location: Church Stretton, England
Embark on a challenging and rewarding 9.7km circular route through the stunning landscape surrounding Church Stretton. This entirely unpaved journey begins with a climb alongside Town Brook, leading you up to the historic Portway. Prepare for varied terrain, predominantly grassy and stony paths, as you traverse this beautiful Shropshire setting.
From the Portway, the route descends into the picturesque Ashes Hollow valley, winding its way towards the fringes of Little Stretton. The significant ascent of 321m makes this an excellent option for runners seeking a substantial hill workout, fell running practice, or simply a breathtaking escape into nature with incredible views.
