Stokesay Castle

Stage 5: Craven Arms to Ludlow

This stage is a contrast to Stage 4. A climb after Stokesay Castle is followed by a sharp descent to Aldon Gutter (a Shropshire term for a stream in a deep valley).

The way then meanders to the weir and old mill at Bromfield before following the Teme to Ludlow town.

After crossing Dinham Bridge take the footpath round the Castle and into Castle Square. (The route has recently been changed here). Proceed to The Buttercross where this stage ends.
