Ludlow<br />
Ludlow – As Betjeman said – “The most<br />
perfect town in England” built 900 years<br />
ago by the Normans and steeped in<br />
history at every turn. A true market town<br />
with so many delights to tempt the tired<br />
walker to linger and stay a while.<br />

Caynham Camp<br />
Take some time to explore this ancient hill<br />
fort with its well preserved ramparts and<br />
terraces; it was occupied 3000 years ago.<br />
Once it would have been so busy, full of<br />
noise, people, animals and smoky round<br />
houses; now it stands quiet. In those days<br />
the view would have been woodland,<br />
now it a quilt of farmland in which Ludlow<br />
stands proud.<br />

Ludlow from the keep to the Clee Hills<br />
Titterstone<br />
Clee<br />
The third highest hill<br />
in <strong>Shropshire</strong> has<br />
been worked since<br />
the Iron Age. Once<br />
a huge stone-walled<br />
hill fort covered the<br />
top but little can now<br />
be seen. The hill has<br />
been carved away<br />
and reshaped in the<br />
search for coal, limestone and dhustone.<br />
Dhustone, the hard dark rock that is<br />
crushed to carpet our roads: Little pieces<br />
of <strong>Shropshire</strong> found all over the Country.<br />
Sheet<br />
BEWARE – the route from the village of<br />
Sheet is along a narrow road with no<br />
footpath and a blind bend. If you are in<br />
a large group or worried about the traffic<br />
then take the detour through Lower<br />
Ledwyche and backtrack to Caynham<br />

<strong>Walking</strong> the <strong>Shropshire</strong> Way from<br />
Ludlow to Cold Green will take<br />
you through a landscape sculpted<br />
by man for the last 3000 years.<br />
Beware though, the weather on<br />
this hill can be unpredictable.<br />
Caynham Camp, an amazing Iron<br />
Age hillfort with its tiered terraces<br />
and wonderful views over Ludlow. A<br />
maze of small villages and hamlets<br />
that housed the many quarrymen<br />
of Clee hill. The deserted quarries<br />
that sounded to the shouts of men,<br />
the blast of black powder and the<br />
whistle of steam. Now the modern<br />
radars silently search the skies and<br />
the bare open moorland is seemingly<br />
untouched by anything more than<br />
nature.<br />
As Housman said:<br />
“From Clee to heaven the beacon burns,<br />
The shires have seen it plain,<br />
From north and south the sign returns<br />
And beacons burn again”.<br />
