BISHOP'S MOAT
The road system is very old, but the present route has evolved from the modifications effected by the motte-and-bailey castle called Bishop's Moat.The castle is the highest in Shropshire. The road became a convenient control and toll point for the local Norman Lord to collect dues for the Bishop of Hereford.
