About this meet

A self-booked accommodation, two day meet in south Shropshire taking in both the Clee Hills. The precise details of the two walks have yet to be finalised, and so are subject to change, but the co-ordinator, Martin Forrest, has provided the following information as a guide:

Saturday 17th - A circular walk of around 14 miles starting from the large, free car park in the centre of Cleobury Mortimer at 9.30. The walk will initially use a combination of the Jack Mytton Way and the Shropshire Way to reach the summit of Titterstone Clee Hill. After taking in the lovely views from the summit, the walk will then turn eastwards and and return to Cleobury Mortimer via Clee Hill and Hopton Waters.
For those that are interested, there is a possibility of a meal in Cleobury Mortimer at the end of the walk.


Sunday 18th - A circular walk of around 12 miles starting at 9.30 from a large lay-by (Grid Reference SO 608 872) alongside a minor road near to the village of Cleobury North. The walk will head south using a series of bridleways and footpaths to Bromdon before picking up the Shropshire Way and heading north right to the spectacular summit of Brown Clee Hill - the highest point in Shropshire.

Both walks will demonstrate to participants the lovely countryside and views that are available in south Shropshire as well as providing an introduction to the social and cultural history of this fascinating area.

A WhatsApp group will be set up for this meet.

About this meet

This is a beautiful country house surrounded by formal grounds and steeped in history. It is set within a glorious 22,000 acre west highland estate and not only enjoys a magical setting, but also plays host to a wonderful piece of Scottish Jacobite history - it contains a bedroom used by Bonnie Prince Charlie!

In 1745, after raising his standard at Glenfinnan, Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed overnight at Fassfern and in the morning he plucked a white rose from a bush at the front of the house and attached it to his bonnet before leaving. This rose became his emblem and the symbol for The Jacobite Cause "The White Cockade".
