Overview

A hilly walk up Carding Mill Valley up to and across the Long Mynd Plateau. Rocky and uneven in places by Lightspout waterfall. We continue along an ancient ridgeway path to Pole Bank. On a clear day you can see Snowdon beyond the Stiperstones. We descend to Little Stretton then follow footpaths back to Church Stretton.
