The Church Stretton Round – Six Hills, One Epic Day

A Boot Up Weekender in the Shropshire Hills – great walking, good company and a proper mountain challenge!

Fancy escaping for a weekend of adventure? Join Boot Up Adventures in Church Stretton for one of our brilliant Boot Up Weekenders, exploring the spectacular Shropshire Hills and taking on a fantastic circular walk packed with distinctive summits, rocky outcrops and sweeping countryside views.

Church Stretton is the perfect base for a weekend away, with its charming market-town atmosphere and a landscape that seems purpose-built for exploring on foot. And with six hills on the agenda, we’ve got a cracking day of walking lined up!

Our Church Stretton Round takes us over Willstone Hill, The Lawley, Little Caradoc, Caer Caradoc, Three Fingers Rock and Helmeth Hill, linking some of the area’s most distinctive hilltops in one rewarding adventure.

We’ll climb Willstone Hill before following the striking ridge of The Lawley, where the views open up across the surrounding countryside. From there, we’ll continue towards Little Caradoc and the imposing Caer Caradoc, whose steep slopes lead to a summit crowned by the remains of an ancient hillfort. The views across the Stretton Valley and towards the Long Mynd are fantastic.

Next up is Three Fingers Rock, a memorable rocky feature that gives the route plenty of character, before we head towards Helmeth Hill and complete our circuit. Expect a wonderful mix of grassy hilltops, narrow ridges, rocky ground and quiet country paths, with plenty of ups and downs to keep the legs working!

But this is about more than just the walk. Our Boot Up Weekenders are about getting away from the everyday, discovering somewhere new, sharing great days outdoors and enjoying the company of like-minded people. After a full day on the hills, we can look forward to relaxing back in Church Stretton and making the most of our weekend away.

Whether you’re building up your hillwalking experience, looking for a new challenge or simply fancy a weekend of fresh air, fantastic scenery and good company, this is a brilliant opportunity to explore one of England’s most underrated walking areas.

Six hills, one fantastic day on the trail and a whole weekend of Boot Up Adventures. Come and join us!

We arrive on Friday evening to be greeted by our Host, settle in and enjoy a lovely freshly prepared meal whilst getting to know each other. A little music, fun and games… but don’t get carried away, we’re up early and out for this fantastic hike through the heart of Shropshire!

At the end of our hike and once back at the hostel, you’ll relax in comfortable, handpicked accommodation that offers warmth, charm, and the perfect environment to recharge, followed by a great night of socialising!  After a rewarding day on the trail, you’ll be treated to hearty, excellent homemade meals, showcasing why Boot Up Adventures, we believe, offer the best food in the industry.

Whether it’s our Greek Cypriot Spit roast BBQ lamb, halloumi and jumbo king prawn skewers or a delicious packed lunch to take on your hike, you’ll experience Boot Up’s culinary delights along with the stunning scenery.

After breakfast, Sunday sees us taking on another fantastic, but shorter local walk.

A unique and memorable experience not to be missed …
