3. Following the route of the Shropshire way, walk along the left-hand boundary of a long field and at the end turn right as indicated and follow the right-hand field boundary to a stile.

4. Cross this and follow a farm track along the left-hand side of the next field. Carry on past a track on the left then and then turn left down a grassy track to the road at a T-junction.

5.

Turn right and follow the road down to the village of Rodington. Carry on past the church and the Bull’s Head, and after passing a cemetery on the right, turn right down a quiet lane which leads to Rodenhurst Hall.

6. On arriving at the farmyard turn left past the farm buildings and continue along the broad track until reaching the road and you are back at the start of the walk.
