Promoted riding opportunities in Shropshire are:

The Jack Mytton Way
Shropshire's long distance bridleway (for use by those on foot, bicycle and horseback). Over 100 miles of rural bridleways and quiet country lanes, this trail takes you through some of Shropshire's most beautiful and unspoilt countryside, compiled in conjunction with the British Horse Society. Funding in 2003/04 allowed the development of a 25 mile link through some of the lesser known parts of South Shropshire, rejoining the linear route near Church Stretton.
The Jack Mytton Way logo (horse and horseshoe) denotes the route and it is shown on Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps.

The Kerry Ridgeway
The Kerry Ridgeway is a linear route which, in the main, follows either roads, unclasssified county roads (UCR’s) or Byways from Bishop’s Castle running along the border and into Wales. The route is available for those on foot, bicycle and horseback.

Blue Remembered Hills Bridleway
This is a beautiful 38 mile circuit around Clun and Bishops Castle. The route is suitable for walkers, horse-riders and cyclists, takes in stunning panoramic views, wooded valleys, secret cwms and traditional stone farmhouses nestling on the valley sides. An information pack is available at local Visitor Information Centres or download the route map and directions attached to this page.
