Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Craven Arms’s Slow Ways.

The bridleway, fields, hollow ways and lanes before getting to Marshbrook; the back of Marshbrook village; the rise up to the top of the hill after Marshbrook where an old drover's way goes past a spring (boggy); architectural and horticultural clues to a previous country estate just before Craven Arms; The Church at Halford. Liked the up and down varied route and walking through or past oaks, some 100s of years old....
J Mitchell
Easy, direct route, though I did feel that it could deviate from the A49 and railway line a little more often without adding too many miles - loads of paths around here. Still, I enjoyed this, great views of Stokesay from above Norton Camp Wood - lovely pint at the Apple Tree in Onibury too....
J Walker
Particularly enjoyed the back route into Craven Arms along the river through what appeared to be old estate grounds, Halford is an interesting old hamlet too....
J Walker
The route follows the Shropshire Way through the Discovery Centre and then crosses the A49 towards Stokesay before crossing back again for a stretch alongside the road before diverting up a lane towards Norton Camp....
C Hanson
This route is passable and scenic and more direct to Ludlow than (the much more scenic) Route Three. Coming out onto Burway Lane, you get a great view of Ludlow Castle....
J Mitchell
There's a lane from the village of Wettles onward and a clearly marked left turn from Lower Lane through a farm yard, then left again along the edges of fields over the railway track and back over the A49 - again, care needed. After crossing the footbridge to your left look out for another to the right, cross that and continue following the course of the Quinny. The path takes you through a woodland and open fields before you pass through the hamlet of Halford, the church here has a beautiful churchyard with views over Craven Arms....
C Hanson
Crossing the railway line there's a fairly steep walk up to the woods and a great view back. This is a great woodland walk through Aldon Gutter!...

Walk this routeFantastic views from the tops - especially at Hopesay Common and Holloway Rocks....

Neil Summersgill added Knicra two, a new walk from Knighton to Craven Arms
Walk this routeAll paths existed and were navigable, and the route was fairly direct between Church Stretton and Craven Arms with minimal time spent on roads. Leaving Church Stretton there is some time spent on roads, including one busy crossing, to get out of town but you are soon into countryside....
Jack and Siobhan
Having attempted to walk this route, we gave up as the footpath after Onibury don't actually exist on the ground. I will supply an alternative....
