Corvedale Cake Walk

Embark on an invigorating adventure through the heart of Shropshire with the Marches LDWA challenge walk, set for Friday, January 1st, 2027. This annual event not only offers runners and hikers a chance to explore some of England's most picturesque landscapes but also supports local church communities in Holdgate and Eaton who have been instrumental in previous events.
The journey begins at the historic Holdgate Church near Much Wenlock (TF13 6LW), where participants will find clearly marked parking nearby. The event kicks off with a closing time for registration at 18:30, ensuring all adventurers are ready to set forth on their chosen route.
For those seeking an extended exploration, the 22-mile course invites you through tranquil fields and rugged tracks leading up to Abdon Burf's summit. From there, traverse rolling hills and serene valleys toward Clee St Margaret for a checkpoint before continuing onto Munslow Park. The path then winds along Wenlock Edge, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside as it passes Wilderhope and returns you to Holdgate.
Alternatively, opt for the 10-mile route, which takes you from Holdgate to Abdon Burf's peak and across to Clee St Margaret via Tugford. This shorter but no less scenic path allows participants to experience the charm of local fields and lanes before returning home.
Both routes showcase the diverse terrain that Shropshire has to offer, with a mix of gentle paths through lush greenery and challenging ascents over historic landmarks. Whether you're an experienced walker or looking for your first challenge walk, this event promises memorable moments amidst stunning natural beauty while supporting local community initiatives.
Join us on January 1st, 2027, to immerse yourself in the rich history and breathtaking scenery of Shropshire's Marches region.
