Overview

Starting from Carding Mill Valley we first ascend Cair Caradoc, earning 360 degree stunning views and admiring the rocks on top. A steep descent then flattens out. We cross the A49 at All Stretton and go up Plush Hill followed by a gradual incline to more fantastic views. We then descend back to Carding Mill Valley.
