Overview

From Church Stretton route traverses Ragleth Hill, crosses A49 to Minton, ascending onto Long Mynd and Pole Bank returning via Mott’s Road to Carding Mill Valley.   

Route involves significant ascent with some steep sections where walking poles would be useful.  Good tracks and paths (some can be muddy) but exposed to cold winds so bring extra layers of clothing. 

Please bring a drink and a packed lunch.  There are toilet facilities at NT car park but none on the route.
