In today's video, I explore Stiperstones National Nature Reserve in Shropshire with the outdoors and me. This circular route started at The Bridges Pub which followed a quiet country lane up towards the Stiperstones car park. We turn left along the road and follow a public footpath through a farm and onto Frogs Gutter. Continuing along the public footpath through bogs and streams until we eventually join a woodland pathway & head towards The Rock. Here we scramble up (why not) and enjoy our lunch with fantastic views. Afterward, we carry on along the ridgeline and pass Nipstone rock, The Bog, and Cranberry rock. Unfortunately, this is where our journey ended as we were losing light (January in the UK, the sun starts to set 1530) and needed to safely descend towards the car park. This circular was around 8 miles and nicely ends back at the pub (coffee for us drivers).
