Asterton to Gravels Post Office
13.11 miles, 692 metres ascent

Starting at Asterton walk onto the Long Mynd past the Midland Gliding Club with gliders and paragliders. Up to the highest point Pole Bank (1696 ft). Then down to Ratlinghope, onwards to Bridges where the Horse Shoe Inn serves a welcome pint if you time it right!

Onwards to the Stiperstones and along the ridge westward, admiring the views on the way

Down the Shropshire Way to The Bog centre (below) with information about the area.

The path crosses more fields near Shelve and on to The Old Post Office, the end of this section
