Bishop’s Castle has been awarded “Walkers are Welcome” status. So it’s official, Bishop’s Castle is a great place for walkers.

Welcome to the bc ring web site. 

The bc ring (sometimes known as the Bishop’s Castle Ring) is a  new 62 mile (100km), long distance footpath encirling the historic market town of Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire. It was developed by local experienced walkers who live in Bishop’s Castle and who know the area intimately.

Bishop’s Castle is in the heart of a beautiful walking area of the South Shropshire Hills, bordering an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between Ludlow and Shrewsbury.

The walk is divided into five sections of around twelve miles each. There is no need to carry a heavy rucksack as we recommend you stay in Bishop’s Castle area and check with your accommodation provider who may be able to arrange transport to/from the starting/finish point  each day.

It is also possible to arrange for a guide, see Walks with a Leader

 

The guide to the walk is available, price £5 contact us for details, or please send a cheque (£6 inc. p&p) payable to Bishop’s Castle Walking Festival, to: bc ring, P Norton, 5 The Ridge, Bishop’s Castle, SY9 5AB

Please also visit our Bishop’s Castle Walking Festival website for an insight into the local area and the many varied walks that visitors enjoy.

PLEASE NOTE, neither the originators of this walk, nor the Bishop’s Castle Walking Festival will accept any responsibility for injury or loss to or from walkers on this route. You are most strongly advised to use the guide in conjunction with and know how to read, the appropriate Ordnance Survey maps, in case of unavoidable changes to the route, or inclement weather. The area has only intermittent cell phone reception.
