Climb the Burway – the narrow lane that winds up a tight green valley from Church Stretton to an expansive moortop wilderness – and you can understand the town’s tag of ‘Little Switzerland’. You won’t see rocky peaks, but the beautiful hills and riversides are criss-crossed with little-trafficked lanes that make this part of Shropshire particularly scenic for cycling.
There’s acheered up. The sharp climbs, ridgetop cruises, and long straight descents will certainly exhilarate and uplift you.
