The Jack Mytton Way is a long distance footpath and bridleway for horseback riders, hillwalkers and mountain bikers in mid and south Shropshire, England. It typically takes a week to ride on horseback.

For much of its length it passes through the Shropshire Hills AONB and includes parts of Wenlock Edge. It passes over the Clee Hills, and through the towns of Cleobury Mortimer, Church Stretton, Clun and Much Wenlock, passing closely by Broseley.

It is named after Jack Mytton (1796–1834) a Shropshire landowner, MP, horseman, foxhunter, gambler and Regency rake. He was also known as Mad Jack [ [http://www.ride-uk.org.uk/extent/natreg/jmytton.htm Ride-UK info on the Jack Mytton Way] ] .
