Distance 10.2 km
Start from the main parking area and head away from the main path. Turn left on to Wrekin Course and enter the woods after about 200yds. Follow the path around the North side of the Wrekin which undulates gently for about a mile. Take the left fork in the permissive path and climb gently for another few hundred yards. Sharp left up the steep side of the hill which is not a great path and requires a fair bit of care. Follow the path to the top which is marked by a trig point and direction marker. Take the main path downwards to the bottom,just passed the Halfway House fork right and follow the path for another couple of miles and branch right at the permissive path to eventually join the steep up path. Continue on the initial path in reverse to rejoin the road and back to the car park. Signage is good, can be muddy in winter.
