The Shropshire Way is a long distance footpath
that was devised by various Shropshire rambling groups in
1979/80.
The way began in the North of the county, and links with the
Sandstone Trail near Whitchurch, before taking a circular course
south of Shrewsbury.
The route is of 136 miles and includes
highlights such as the castles of Clun and Stokesay, the famous
industrial archaeology site of Ironbridge and the lovely old town
of Ludlow. The walking is magnificent throughout and not too
strenuous.
The Shropshire Way Series
The Shropshire Way series is a set of caches all
set on or very close to the Shropshire Way. Please feel free to add
to the series - all we ask is you name them in the same format as
the others in the series i.e. 'Wyke - Shropshire Way', use this
background image
this background image and have this paragraph at the top of the
cache listing.
This series was inspired by Cape02, in
collaboration with The Pirates of Shropshire, The Bolas Heathens
and The Shropshire Conquistadors.
Downs Mill (Much Wenlock)
You are looking for a small container with a few
swaps. The cache is hidden right next to the Shropshire way
footpath about half a mile from Much Wenlock priory. Suggested
parking is at the Priory: Coordinates N52.35.860 W002.33.358. The
cache was placed here as it is a regular family walk for us from
Ironbridge to Much Wenlock and we wanted other people to enjoy this
beautiful area
