The total distance of the Shropshire Way is approximately 232miles (if you include the various loops and shortcuts). However, that does not include the various circular walks that are present at; Middle Woodbatch Farm, The Stiperstones, Acton Scott, Burrow Camp, Sallow Coppice, and Brown Clee.
The Sections of the Way are as follows:-
Circular Route
- Shrewsbury to Bridges - 16 miles
- Bridges to Bishop's Castle - 12 miles
- Bishop's Castle to Clun - 12 miles
- Clun to Craven Arms - 11 miles
- Craven Arms to Ludlow - 11 miles
- Ludlow to Dodshill Bank (Sometimes called Wheathill) - 10 miles
- Dodshill Bank to Wilderhope - 11 miles
- Wilderhope to Ironbridge - 13 miles
- Ironbridge to Overley - 10 miles

- Church Stretton to Hopesay - 10 miles (plus climb out of Carding Mill Valley)
- Wilderhope to Church Stretton - 12 miles

In total this means that I have around 18 weekends worth of walking to complete the entire route, or 36 if I walk each section in both directions.
