Head southwest on the Shropshire Way. Ignore a path branching right into Spring Coppice. The Way descends to a track. Follow this to a road, where you turn left, then first right, on a track to Exfords Green.

Fork right then follow a hedged path past a house and former chapel. Leave the Shropshire Way, going diagonally across a field to a stile near the far corner. Descend slightly and go through a copse to reach a lane.

Cross to a path almost opposite, following the left-hand edge of a field until a stile gives access to another. Head diagonally across to a stile and footbridge close to the far right corner. Continue across another field, past two oak trees. A worn path goes obliquely right across the next two fields to meet a lane.

Turn right, then right again at the main road. Pass through Longden. Go right again on School Lane; this descends slightly. Cross a brook, then cross a stile on the left and diagonally right across a field corner to a stile.

A yellow arrow directs you diagonally across the next field to a stile under an oak tree. Cross another field to reach a road. The path continues opposite, crossing two further fields until it meets a lane at Great Lyth. Turn right, keeping straight on at a junction, then turn left at the next.

Turn right on the access track to Lower Lythwood Hall and Holly Ash. At the end, turn left on a lush green lane. At its end turn right over a stile and cross a field. Pass left of three oak trees and keep to the right of a pond to reach a gate at the far side. Follow the edge of the next field past a gate and continue to another in the corner. Continue along a track for a few paces to a small gate on the right.

Walk up the right edge of the field and turn left along the top. Follow a worn path across a field to a hedge corner with a blocked gate. Continue along the hedge to a kissing gate, then along field-edges to enter a path behind houses.

Meeting a street, turn immediately right on a fenced path, then straight ahead on a street. Keep straight on at a crossroads and at the end turn right then first left (Bredden Way). At the top turn right then left by a postbox through trees to a lane. Turn right to Lythwood Farm. Go straight through then fork left and follow the track across fields. Cross the last field aiming left of a small reservoir. Emerge to a lane and turn right, back to Lyth Hill.
