The Long Mynd from Carding Mill Valley | Stunning 7.5-Mile Shropshire Hike

The Long Mynd from Carding Mill Valley — a 7.5-mile circular walk in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, starting from the National Trust site at Church Stretton. A glorious sunny day on one of England's finest upland walks, taking in Light Spout Waterfall, the summit ridge at Pole Bank (516m) and the dramatic descent through Devil's Mouth Hollow. One of the best day walks in the West Midlands — spectacular views across Shropshire, Herefordshire and into Wales from the ridge. 📍 THE ROUTE Carding Mill Valley → Light Spout Waterfall → Pole Bank → Grindle → Devil's Mouth Hollow → Carding Mill Valley 🎒 GEAR I USE Day Pack: OEX Vallo Air 36L → https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087V5QY3...
