Wenlock Edge

A 15 mile limestone escarpment

Wenlock Edge is a narrow limestone escarpment that runs for 15 miles from Craven Arms to  Ironbridge, the National Trust owns 8 miles of this stretch. There is a mix of rich flowering grasslands and ancient woodland along with internationally important sites for geology, making the area an important Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI). Along Wenlock Edge you'll see evidence of it's old industrial and agricultural use, with old quarrys and limestone workings along the way.

There is a myriad of footpaths and bridleways along Wenlock Edge which can easily be accessed from the two car parks on Wenlock Edge and from the car park at Wilderhope Manor.
