The route

The route runs from Church Stretton in the Shropshire Hills AONB to Ludlow. It is named for Eadric the Wild.

From Stretton it climbs up the Long Mynd, and Stiperstones descending to Bishops Castle using both a medieval drovers' road, the Portway and Offa's Dyke Path to reach quiet Clun and Norman Clun Castle before traversing the Iron Age hillfort at Bury Ditches and heading to Craven Arms and finally Ludlow, the centre of the Welsh Marches.

gollark: Most trips are *not* that long, and I figure for long ones, if there was more automation and efficiency in the process, you could rent a longer-range car temporarily (in some hypothetical world where this is a common thing).
gollark: Well, then you can use... a non-electric car, for now.
gollark: It's not like you need most cars to be able to satisfy every eventuality.
gollark: As I sort of said, I think having a personal car around all the time which is designed for really long trips and incurs a lot of expense that way is kind of wasteful.
