Carding Mill Valley is a great fun descent - fast and winding before getting a bit more rocky, with a few drainage channels to negotiate, and a ford at the end. It also works well as a climb, too. It gets busy at the bottom, not least because of the cafe, but (as is often the way) it's a lot quieter at the top!

So many trails to choose from, do check out the map at Carding Mill as there are some trails that are just for hikers, the trails are not particularly challenging, but fast and fun.

Mingle with the day trippers and replenish your supplies at the National Trust cafe before emerging onto the Long Mind itself. Soon you'll leave the crowds behind and will have these wild-feeling hills to yourself.
